The beginning...


Brian grew up riding dirt bikes and camping. We have always talked about doing the same with our kids. Brian sold his dirt bike when we lived in the condo because there just wasn't room for it and he wasn't riding as much with three little ones. Now that we live closer to riding and the kids are a bit older we thought it was a good time to introduce them to riding. They have ridden in the backyard a bit and practiced with the throttle, but this was our first time going out to a riding area. It was a lot of fun and we can't wait to continue the tradition.







Melanie and Brandon took a while to warm up, but by the time we were getting ready to go, they didn't want to get off the bike. Daddy showed the kids a little track that they could ride on and before we knew it they were going off of it to go up and down hills. Brandon still makes us nervous, but Melanie seems to be more cautious and in control of the bike.




Of course Brooklyn wanted to ride too, but she had to ride with Daddy since she is still a bit small for the bike. Daddy even did some tricks with her ;o) We also brought out the kids pedal bikes and they loved riding them all around. I'm so excited to do this as a family as our kids get older and even go out with other families that enjoy riding too...hint, hint Collins fam ;o)


I didn't grow up riding and am not the most coordinated person, but I took a turn on the 50 and had a blast. Maybe one day I will get out there and ride too, but for now I really like just watching all the kids have fun.

Did you go to Ocotillo or somewhere closer? We need to go together. We haven't had time to make a trip this year yet and am not certain we will. We all absolutely love it though. So glad you had fun.

Do you think you will do dirt bikes or quads?
