But.... the other day Daddy bought her a kids quad. Well, she loves it and has been out quading everyday since even in the mud! On Easter weekend we went down to Penticton and then up the hill to visit our camping friends - one of them had a kids quad and Katie got to ride it and mentioned several times how much she liked it.
Quading is a fairly big summer activity up here and as we live right accross from a big field and hill it will be great for her to be able to go out too. We have the one adult quad but cant afford a second right now so this also solves the dilemna of how to fit three of us on one quad and since he got a smokin deal it didnt put us out of pocket.
Rob spent the first few times out teaching her driving rules and safety and she picked up pretty quick - yesterday we went for a drive out to Inga lake (north west of town) and she did great all on her own with very few reminders from us. Jersey chased her up and down the road while we cheered and took pictures.
The little quad had speed control so she cant go very fast right now, and a remote kill switch so we can shut her off if we need to.
It is still pretty muddy and since there is still the remanents of our huge snow pack left it will likely be that way for a while - but our little girly girl has taken to heading for the biggest puddles and pinning it to make a big spray of mud! We are so proud!lol

Hi jen. That is very cool for Katie to have her own quad. I was always leery about small kids and quads and never knew they could have a speed regulator, so that changes my mind. Aidan would love to have one. Maybe next year. The pictures are great and she looks like she is totally not having any fun. (hint of sarcasm). Have fun together.
Hey Jen! Got your comment. Katie is so stinking adorable! I showed Ben the quad on the computer, let's just say he's a little jealous ;o) Say hi to Rob and Katie for us. And by the way, the pictures from your last post are beautiful!
