Wild Rides

The boys were so fascinated & intrigued by everything at Dewberry Farm. The climbed all over & explored anything.

Even though this "roping" exhibit wasn't turned on or working, the boys still made their own fun.

They had a blast on these pedal go-carts. It looked like a ton of work to do laps, but they were loving it.

It was neat to see them driving- they didn't crash too much!

I felt really bad for Joe- the youngest, because he was too small for the full size pedal carts. He went on the smaller track, with smaller carts, and still had a grand ol' time.

They had several races out there & it was neat to see the look of determination on their faces.

I really did think that 20 minutes of non-stop pedaling would wear them out, but no....

Off to the wheel-of-death, as I call it. The 3 youngest raced against the 2 oldest in the huge wheel.

The older 2 were obviously much more coordinated & easily beat their younger siblings.

In the "young wheel" there was at least one kid on the ground at any given minute.

And more often than not, 2 kids on the ground, tumbling around like the inside of a dryer!

They wanted to do this over and over again, but I was starting to get really worried that at least 1 of the 5 was going to get hurt.

Even the big kids went down....

In quite a crashing style....

And sometime all 3 little ones were on the ground.

But they got right back up and kept on racing.

Sort of....

Not really ;)
