BBQ at the Motorpool

Yesterday Matt informed me of a little family barbecue that the Motorpool was having. And since the kids got out at 11:00 this morning, I wanted to go.
Well 11:00 rolls around and he still hadn't told me to come yet. Then at 11:30 I texted him saying we were hungry and wondering if I needed to make lunch or not. Then he told me to come. So we went!

It was just a little barbecue... i don't even know if you can really call it a barbecue... with chips, hot dogs, and pop. That's it. It was fine.
Here's Matt & Aaron (our roommate until Jan. 8) killin time at work:

It was kinda boring, until I looked across the table and saw the TRICYCLE that Matt had told me that he had at his work. Usually, the companies have a golf cart or something cool to run things to and fro, but not Echo Company... they have a trike!

I told Kenzie to go ride it. But she was too embarrassed.
Matt was trying to coax her on.
It didn't work, but she DID get into the basket and let Daddy ride her around:

After Daddy's little ride, she wanted to try:


She loved it!
Then Matthew got in the basket.
Here's a video of Kenzie riding Matthew around:

Then we put Nan & Zoey in the basket.
They were having a GREAT time!
"Look Ma! No hands!"
It's all fun and games until someone dumps the bike over on it's side and dumps their little sister and dog out of the basket onto the ground. Luckily it wasn't that bad and no one got hurt. Kenzie got scolded for not being careful and then it was Matthew's turn.

Here's a video of Matthew coming back for Matt to fix his seat:

Originally, Matt lowered it so Matthew could reach the pedals. I guess he didn't tighten it, so it turned sideways. So then he fixed it:
And little Zoey was soaking up all the love!

After the bike riding fun, they were getting ready to go home, so they parked one of their big trucks in the garage. Matt was being a "Ground Guide" for the truck as it was pulling into the garage, and Nathan was mimicking Daddy:


It was a fun little lunch barbecue.
The bikes definitely made it better ;o)
