Monday, August 18th was pretty much our LAST day of playing with Grandma and Grandpa Lee. So we drove up to Knik Glacier with the 4 wheelers and had a picnic lunch. It was a beautiful day.
It's hard not to have fun on the 4 wheelers. Cooper was 3 1/2 when we were in Alaska last and totally remembers riding them a couple years ago. Karcyn was a baby, so this was her first real experience with them and man...you would have thought she was a "biker babe". She couldn't get enough of them. What's so funny is that she BARELY fit on one. She'd sit as far forward on the seat as possible and then lean to hold on in between the handle bars. That was such a stretch for her little body that she was seriously laying at a 45 degree angle. But she held on for her life while her head bobbed up and down. I didn't go as fast as Jared did with her. I was worried she wasn't having fun and was getting whiplash or something. But she ate it up and was mad when you stopped.
Grandma let Jake "drive" by doing the steering.
Cooper said I did a good job going fast and over the big bumps. Jake didn't like riding with me as much, though because I wouldn't go up in the forest like Grandma and Jared. I wasn't in the mood for getting muddy either having just done laundry before we flew home. (You may wonder about Grandpa. He was there, but was happy to sit back and let us do all the driving as he did his crossword puzzles and tinkered around with the camper).
And here we have the ATV Princess herself. She had to be on the machines even when we were done.
We actually got a flat tire on the red ATV near the end of our afternoon. We're just grateful that we noticed it when it was stopped and that no one got hurt while riding on it in that condition.

That looks like so much fun...just like all of your trip. You'll have to plan a trip for us when we finally get to go up there, you guys went to some awesome places!
Sooo funny about Karcyn. Kids are hilarious when they get really attached to something.
