One day while we were in Ohio, my Dad splurged on the kids and took them to a place called Swings-N-Things. By the way, there are no swings at this place. I don't know - maybe they are hoping to get some swings one day?
They cooled off riding the bumper boats. These are very much like bumper cars; only they are motorized inner tube-type boats with water jets that the rider can use to spray other riders. Or, moms with cameras who stand too close to the fence.
The main reason we went to Swings-N-Things was to allow them to spend the better part of the day driving in circles on go-karts.
Burrito was a courteous driver. He followed the rule of “no bumping.” (That’s my first born, by-the-books kid for ya!) Kat had the whistle blown at her several times and even bumped another driver hard enough to cause him to spin out - just like the cops do when they're trying to end a high-speed chase. Her excuse? “He cut me off so I had to hit him!” What? No brakes?
This was a foreshadowing of things to come. Burrito’s birthday this past Sunday marked an important milestone in his young life: the beginning of driver’s training. We are doing the parent-taught driver’s education allowed here in Texas. I’m the instructor. (You may stop laughing now.)
Texas drivers, fair warning, ya'll!

Looks like allot a fun!
I love it. Kat is your hand-full like Kary is mine. She keeps me on my toes...and how did you know I was laughing about driver's ed? Can you see me?
How fun that had to be! Well, congratulations on being a parent to an almost-driver. We did the parent-taught driver's ed as well. It went good. He'll be a good driver I'm sure!
God bless, Brenda
Your GORGEOUS kids look like they are having a BALL! What fun!

That place looks like lots of fun! So where does the "swing" part of the name come in?
Yea for Burrito for beginning to drive. I remember that time in my life with great fondness...not sure my dad would agree.
Have fun and push that imaginary brake on the passenger side whenever you feel nervous!
Love you,

Dawn,
Definitely looks like you had a lot of fun in Ohio! I know the place... I think the "swings" might be taking swings with the bat? Aren't there batting cages there?
Wow, already teaching your son how to drive...they grow up too fast! I can't even think about it!!!!
Love,
M :)
What fun! Seems like a blast. I know your parents enjoyed the visit as much as you did!
Summer blessings, S
I love riding go-carts!! So is that why they always blow the whistle at me? I thought it was just to tell me it was time to start going toward the pit. :)
