Toyota Ride Fun

A couple Sunday nights ago we had life group at the Mueller's house which is the home of the people who we first stayed with when we moved to Oregon. They live on a lot of land and are so into dirt bikeing that they have their own track behind their house. Well one of their favorite things to do and to take visitors on is a Toyota ride, which is when everyone gets in the truck and they go around the dirt bike track including the hills and around the rest of the property. Let me tell you that this was a blast!!! We took two trips, one when it was still kinda light out, and one when it was dark. Us girls took the safe position resting against the cab of the truck while the boys got a little more of the action on the tail-gate side. Now I know what you are thinking...WHAT THAT IS SO DANGEROUS and although I'll admit it was a little scary I am a huge chicken and even I felt safe the whole time. The dad who was driving the truck has done this so often that he knows every inch of his property and knows the feel of his truck and would never do anything to put us in danger. With that being said, Carter did fall out once, but it was when the truck was backed up a hill and he decided it would be a great day to stand up while we were rolling back down, except the dad assumed we were all seated and quickly threw on the brakes for a little fun. Well Carter was right across from me and all I saw was him flipping backwards. He actually caught himself on the tailgate and was holding himself up while laughing hysterically. The whole thing was great and a great bonding experience for all of us as we are laughing pretty much the whole entire time. The only down side was that we were so sore the next day from all the jarring that we did in the truck.

Here we are excited to start

Up the hill

Back down again

I love this picture, the boys are sliding down toward us as us girls are laughing while trying not to get smooshed.

This is actually a steep hill although it doesn't look like it.
