Twelve Hours, Two Kids, and a New Toy!

On Sunday afternoon, Tyler was the winning bidder on an EBay auction. He bought a Honda 500CR. Since the bike was located in Indiana, the two boys came to spend the night with us. Kathy and Tyler left early Monday morning and drove to Indiana and back to get this new motorcycle. It was twelve hours of driving. They made it back home by around 6 o'clock and we got to see the bike when we took the little guys home.
I told Kathy to be sure to take her camera. Sometimes the best scrap book pages are those events in a trip that you don't really want to happen. I'm thinking things like, when you break down, or when you get pulled over for speeding. I know when we went to Michigan last summer, I made a great page with pictures of our van going onto a roll back truck to be hauled to the shop. Oh well, that was a different story. Tyler DID get pulled over for speeding, but they only gave him a warning! Can you believe it? And Tyler wouldn't let her take pictures of the event....I guess if they'd have been taking pictures, the officer might have thought they were having too much fun and needed some official souvenirs from the Indiana State Trooper Association! Now they have three motorcycles; one for Kathy, Zach and Tyler. Wyatt is saving every penny he gets to buy a dirt bike. He was saving for a four wheeler, but now he's decided that he should get a dirt bike.
Well...that's the newest from here. We're happy for Tyler, because he was so excited. However, I just hope and pray that none of them get hurt too bad!
