A New Toy!

About a year ago our boys started asking for a 4-wheeler. Now mind you, I despise them and it made me shutter to think that my boys would ride one of them and possibly get injured seriously. About 2 months ago our friends bought a go-kart and nick mentioned to me that maybe thats what we should get instead of a 4-wheeler. We did some research and found one that had great seatbelts, and a nice role cage and was "sort of" in our price range. We also found out that Heinold and Feller Tire Company in Valpo sold them so we could maybe get a deal thru them??? A month ago we told the boys what we were thinking and asked them what they thought of a go-kart. Of course, you guessed it....THEY WERE BEYOND EXCITED!!! We didn't tell them we ordered it, nor did we tell them when it was coming in. So one evening 2 weeks ago we told the boys to get in the truck. Mom needed a few groceries, and well, dad needed to stop at a tire company place. They never did "catch on" and when we arrived they still thought dad was just picking up tires:). Soon the suprise was ended when they rolled the go-kart up onto the truck bed.
We stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Gutwein's house to show them the new toy and boy were they super excited to get into it. Look at those VERY BIG SMILES!!

Here is a video of them finding out the go-kart is indeed THEIRS!!!





We have had the go-kart 2 weeks now and we have ONLY run into ONE tree!! And thankfully the boys have NOT flipped it. All I want is for them to stay safe...please Lord!!
