...one image, above all others from this absolutely delightful time of year, stays foremost in my mind. It's this...
...and these two boys have spent hours happily occupied...
...and waving as they go past.
Wanna see? :)
We got the Gator almost two years ago, purchased secondhand from one of Jeff's co-workers and given to our older boys when Shav was born. That first summer, it entertained Josiah and David--and various friends who came to visit and who got turns driving it. But in time's unceasing march, the boys who originally drove it have grown so much that they hardly fit into the Gator, and their knees stick out at funny angles when they try to fold themselves into that little space on the seat. Now the younger set of boys have their turn, and so, The Spring of 2011 is, in my mind, almost synonymous with the sight of Tobin giving Shav a ride and the sound of their happy voices laughing and shrieking as they go down small hills and careen around corners.Now that spring, my favorite season, is departing, I'm consoled by the fact that the pleasure of Gator rides--along with so many of the other wonderful activities we've enjoyed this spring--can continue without pause...
...right on into summer!! :)

These photos (and the video) are wonderful! Such total, unadulterated joy.... precious!
They look so happy! I bet it is charged up over and over again.
Wayne's mom has a Gator! The battery's about shot, and I'm not sure, given the size of the girls, whether getting a new one is worth it. But, as with your boys, it's brought hours and hours of fun for all the grandkids.
Your pictures, as always, are worth a thousand words, Davene.
