I love 4 wheeling with mom and Jerri. I have come to notice that Jerri has purchased several new ATV's this year. I don't understand it, I just know that when Bella and Gracie have to go in the garage (because they are naughty and try to bite people, or DO bite people) my mama looks at me and I run OUT of the garage instead of in and then I try to guess which 4 wheeler we are taking!!!!
We go most nights now that it is nice out. I sit on the back of mom's 4 wheeler and ride snuggled up to her bum. It is warm there and I'm fairly safe. We go over a trail that mom calls the "roller coaster". It goes up and down, up and down, for a long time and it is sooo fun. I have seen the movie Due Date and I think that dog on the movie in the back of the truck is trying to be me when they go over those bumps.
We ride all over the place. I have biffed it a few times but I think it is building character. I cowboy up and get right back on and ride. The first time I had an ATV accident, and no I wasn't wearing a helmet, was when mom was out of town and I was riding with Jerri and grandma and grandpa. In fact now that I think about it, that was when I had my first 2 accidents. I was riding with grandpa and he went over a bump that threw me off. I was so freaked out and scared that I starting running away from him. I know he was calling my name. I know I was out in the middle of nowhere but who knows maybe he was a bad driver and I might not make it home alive! Well he figured I knew my way home and was headed there so he went on to find Jerri and Grandma. When they all caught up together Jerri was freaking out that I wasn't there. Of course she knew that mom would kill all of them if she came home and I was missing or worse! So in a huge panic Jerri back tracked and came to find me. She was on a green ATV, one I hadn't seen before and when a bike came around zipping real loud I crouched down behind a shrub. I was sooo scared. I was out there alone and a big loud machine with wheels was just yards from me. Then I heard Jerri's voice. "Kitty......kitty it's me, come here". She was on that scary green beast! I was so grateful she found me, I ran to her from behind that bush and she let me ride in front. That part was cool.
Riding in front isn't always as cool as it seems. She had to steer with one hand and some cussing about a clutch and gears and shifting and we hit a bump and next thing I knew I was flying in slow motion over the top of the 4 wheeler, this huge scary loud green beast! I looked back at Jerri as my arms and legs flew in the air as if to say, heeellllppppp mmmmemeeeeeeee. But it was too late. I had flown from her safe arms and the atv and was clawing at air.
Mom came home and was not at all amused by our stories of the wild ride weekend. I was fine and I'm a big boy, not to worry. (though I wish they had left out the part about me hiding like a sissy behind the bushes)
Tonight we went riding in the rain. It was cold and mom put me in her jacket. Not the most fun ride ever but after the ride when we parked at home, mom layed back in the quiet on the seat of the bike and I layed on her tummy and we watched the clouds gather into huge black thunderclouds. It was beautiful and I was safe with my mom. Every now and then you could see the 1/4 moon through the clouds while it rained lightly. I could feel her breath under my whole body and I knew I was safe even with the storm in the air.
