Landen's Big Surprise





We start them young at our house!

Our labor day was spent on a hunt for fun. We decided to just go look at the children's 4-wheelers since we already have an adult one. This would be something that Brian could do with the boys for daddy time. Well, when we got to the store Landen went first thing over to the dirt bikes. He sat on them with eyes beaming with wonder of what it would be like if he could finally get one. Landen is our natural when it comes to anything with wheels (he takes after his Daddy). When he was 2 he learned how to ride a bike with no training wheels, when he was 5 Brian surprised him with an adult go cart of which of course he fixed the seat so Landen could operate it on his own. This inspired Landen even more to want a dirt bike and race and do tricks all of the things just like his Daddy did when he was young.

Brian and I discussed it and decided upon the dirt bike. When we shared this with Landen all our little man could say was "Thank you, thank you, thank you". When we got home we went out to ride first thing and these are the pics of his first ride. It has 4 speeds reaching up to 45-50 miles per hour. Daddy will only allow 3rd gear for now and Landen is happy with that. Landen let Gabriel ride his dirt bike while Brian ran beside of him. I wish that I had the camera with me let's just say Gabriel is much more like his Mommy we will be looking at something with 4 wheels this Christmas for him.

For now Gabriel and Lilly are enjoying riding on the back of Daddy's 4-wheeler. Life is getting more fun here in the Wagener house every day.
