Do You Want To Ride Or Walk?

I had a plan to get a lot done 
late yesterday afternoon
but I quickly abandoned all plans.

We had to pick Ria up from school
and then
Mama's Boy stopped by with
little CJK.
As soon as they ate he could not
wait to get 
OUHTSYDE.

What's out there?
Why all the RIDERS, of course.
PAPA! RIDE!
BEACH-PAPA-BEACH
Why mow grass when you can drive in the water?
When Ria FINALLY gets a turn to ride
CJK takes a little walk-with Daddy not to far behind.
He leaves the beach to check the playhouse and
discovers another 
OLD RIDE 
in there.
(my goal is to reline this now that I have removed the old liner)
He only rides long enough to get to the 
FRONT YARD 
so he can get back on the tractor with Papa.
I think he is a little nervous when 
Papa starts backing up!
Soon, it is time to go home.
He does NOT like to leave Nana's house.
He might get a little reprieve because
he will ride home with Daddy.
AND
WHERE IS Daddy?
THERE HE IS!
Enjoying a LITTLE ride of his own!
Oh- I am so gonna get it when he sees this.

    Enjoying the moment- that's the most important thing to do! Looks like fun- I never though about riding a lawn mower along the waters edge but I can imagine how fun it would be especially for the kids! Great memories!

    Hehehehe. Love that last shot! And the others are too cute. What is it with kids and riding lawn mowers! Our grands love to even just sit on the thing when it's not even running. But the 10 year old loves driving it. Thinks he's in heaven! (He'll soon outgrow that when he learns that it's work.)

    Awww, what fun! Of course, riding on the beach and in the water is more fun than cutting the grass! Papa is a great sport and super Papa! Yes, you're in trouble alright! Fun memories!

    Oh my, how fun! Can I go for a ride in the water too? I remember when I lived in Canada my dad would drive in the mini van along the beach and my 7 year old heart would panic that we were going to sink into the lake. Good times. . . :) Hugs to you, Diana!

    Well I must say I've never seen a John Deere lawn mower riding the waves, Diana! Too funny. It is so good to see little CJK happy and healthy. He is just darling! And I have a feeling his Daddy needs a bigger bike:)

    Every time I see a photo of that water I'm amazed, you have waves?
