I wanted a vehicle that could give a fast ride and didn't have four carseats attached to it, the answer. . .
Mom's new wheels.
The kids are in absolute heaven. These pics were taken up on our property in the Shenandoahs. It is such a fun respite from suburbia-land up there. We have a bunch of large boulders on the land and the kids have all named them. We have "table rock" where we eat our picnic when we get there. One is named "rainbow rock" given its name because that is the rock the girls can paint on. While the boys go riding I sit up there relaxing with the baby as Sadie and Eva let out their inner Picasso on a large boulder with some paintbrushes and trays of paint. Currently the rock is very pink, I'll post pics next time around. I think that they could stay entertained by this for at least 5 hours. It is great!
Carefree and happy.
That is what a little piece of forest on a little road in the middle of nowhere will do to you.
