Jeep VS Gator ...

So the other weekend we invited some couples over from church for a campfire but it just wasn't seeming to work out for everyone.  We canceled and decided to make it another night.  But, I already had hot dogs and rolls and with Mike and Matt needing to make a ramp for JR Jay.  (JR fell at work and will need a ramp for his wheelchair when he gets back home!  Mike and Matt offered their services to their good friend.  Get well JR!!!)  After they made the ramp, they both went into the hospital to visit JR.  So, why not have Lena and the boys come over awhile???  Perfect! 
 
They brought their gator along thinking that Hunter can drive one toddler around while Ashlyn can drive her jeep with the other toddler!  Splendid plan other than the gator had wheel motor issues and wouldn't work.  And the jeep didn't have a charged battery!  Boohoo. 
 
They did however have a blast playing on the gator!  Austin loves to climb around the jeep and he loved the gator just as much!!!  We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows while they played.
 
The men joined us awhile later and we had a great campfire night on the back porch!  Thanks for coming over guys!
 


Austin ... 1 year old!

Love these two kids!  Adrian & Austin!



Priceless ...


Sorry, I'm not taking any time to edit the red eyes but I treasure these pictures!


And now for the jeep rides.  I bought this jeep at a yard sale this spring for $10.  It needed a new battery and it has been such a great entertainment for these two!!!  They LOVE riding together.  Austin's head goes flying front when she takes off.  Hang on there buddy!



I am trying to hang on to these moments as long as I can because in a few short weeks Ashlyn will be starting kindergarten.  Austin (and mom) is going to miss her like crazy the days she will be in school.  So for now ...... playmates they are!!!

Summer memories are wonderful!
