The Big Green Tractor

We bought a ride on tractor from our neighbor a month or so ago.  Brady used to go take it out of their garage and ride it around.  He is definitely brave. They are like the children's grandparents so it wasn't ever an issue.  We just thought since he rode on it more than their grandson we should go ahead and purchase it. :-)

At first, we just let Brady ride on it.  Kendra used to get on it but when the gears started breaking and needed to be replaced we decided that maybe she was too heavy for it.  So, she hasn't been able to get on it for some time.  Last week, however, they were both on it and having so much fun I couldn't tell her to get off.  She would sit with Brady in the front and he would steer.  Now, he is a daredevil and will ride over anything and everything that comes in front of him.  He rides off the side of the platform at the shed, over rocks...large ones, and even ventures down the street if we aren't looking. 

Lately, the newest thing is riding down the rock path between our house and the neighbors.  He had done it before but it has now become a ramp of sorts.  No wonder the thing is clicking and popping.  I think we are going to replacing the other gear soon!  Anyway, I just had to share because they are both so cute riding around on it and have the biggest smiles.  Good times!
