First time 2-UP

The kids and I were having fun hanging out on this lazy Father's Day afternoon so I got the wild hair to take them for scooter rides. Now granted, I only have my learners and am not technically allowed to have passengers, but I only took them on my street (which is a culdesac and less than 1/10th of a mile in length). The Wife was not terribly thrilled with the idea, but after she saw how we were riding, she had no problem with it at all.

We had a great time! I don't have a motorcycle helmet to fit The Girl, so she wore her bicycle helmet. We never got above 10mph, so I figured it was ok. I took The Boy for a ride and he can wear my extra adult helmet with no problem. We toodled around the culdesac for about a half-hour with The Kids taking turns. The Kids were absolutely thrilled! Plus, it was good for me to get a feel for passengers in a safe environment.

The Wife didn't go for a ride with me today, but she said that she definitely would sometime. Yeah, come on! That will be fun.
