Thanksgiving Trip!

Our Thanksgiving weekend riding trip didn't start out completely as planned. Jake caught the stomach bug I had earlier that week and woke up on Thanksgiving at 3 AM with a stomach ache. Well, he was feeling much better by Friday morning, so off to the desert Jake and I went to meet up with David and our friends.

Jake spent most of the way up telling how much he loves riding with his friends Sammie and Tessa. He couldn't wait to get there.

Here is a picture of the 3 Ride-a-teers!



The kids all seem to have a great time and constantly asked to go for trail rides. Just as one said they were tired and wanted to rest, another was ready to ride!

Jake and Sammie seem to have a little "connection" going on. It is very fun to watch them together. Here is a pic of the two of them after a long day of riding.

Trackday Practice


This morning we took Jake out to the Motocross track to practice. This was his first time riding the track on his new Supermoto wheels and tires.


He did great! As you can see in his picture, he got full air on the tabletop jump.


Way to go Bubba-man!

Jake got his green belt!


Tonight Jake had his graduation at Karate. He is now a green belt! He did great and has been working hard to perfect his form.

One of the highlights of graduation is breaking a board. Every kid gets to try and then bring the board, well it's pieces, home. Here is Jake as he broke his board with an elbow strike.

First Dirt Bike Camping Trip of the Season!

We took our first camping trip of the season this weekend. We had a great time. We had a mixed bag of weather in the short 36 hours we were there. We had beautiful mid-70's to high winds to rain to low-50's!

Jake got to do lots of riding. He especially enjoys riding with Sammie and Tessa. Sammie rides a 50cc quad and Tessa rides a 70cc dirt bike. They are great friends and challenge each other to go faster every time they ride together. That is Sammie in the picture with Jake.

The kids rode from sun-up to sundown. Here is a picture of the beautiful sunset. Those clouds later lead to rain at 2:30 in the morning.

Halloween


Here is Jake in his Halloween costume. He was the scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz.


Jake looked great! He had tons of fun trick-or-treating with his cousin Cooper and some other friends. His pumpkin bucket was filled to the brim!
