Motorcycle fun

We got Asa's motorcycle out for the first time in months and he had a blast.  It is the first time he was willing to ride it himself.  Most of the time he wants Cody on the back, but he was satisfied with Cody running along side.  As was I!  I do have to report the evening ended in him crashing on the motorcycle.  How is that possible with training wheels you ask.  Well there is a throttle something or other that lets us decide how fast he can go.  Well Cody couldn't get it to stay the same so he kept adjusting it.  And for some reason Asa cranked on the throttle super hard and got scared and wouldn't let up and was heading straight towards the house.  One of the training wheels caught one of the plastic planters out front and slowed him down as well as tossed him off.  Luckily he landed in our gravel bed in front of the house instead of actually crashing dead on into the house.  He's just fine and was just a little scared about the whole thing.  My plastic planter did not survive, however.  And no I didn't get the crash on camera

Scary, it kind of brings back memories of Asa's grandpa and his dad. I hope he will be taught all the safety features. Love it. Also, your 4th sounded like you had a good time. It's too bad Asa got burned. Dallin got burned really bad also.

Wow, how fun! What a great way for Cody to "bond". It sounds like Asa bonded with the flower pot real well too!
