The Bike Parade

We decorated Jax's "Lil Quad" for his bike parade debut. Thankfully, it's motorized so he can pretty much move along on his own. The problem is, he can't steer so poor Darren had to keep leaning over and straightening out the handlebars. They managed to make it down the street o.k. and Jax looked pretty cute out there on his "ride". We strung up a bunch of empty soda cans and tied them to the back so we could hear him comin' as he got closer to our house. This proved to be a pretty good idea because later in the day when the kids were riding the quad, the cans would keep us posted as to their whereabouts. When the noise got softer and softer, we knew they were getting farther and farther away and it was time to call them back towards home. This way, we parents didn't have to get up out of our seats as often; we got to spend more time concentrating on our margarita drinking!!! Talk about lazy parents, huh?
