Motorcycle Sunday with Nana and Papa

Jacob woke us up this morning. I went and brough him into our bed. He lay between us and then sat up and played with Daddy and Kate. He followed me down the hallway as I went to prepare his breakfast. Jacob walked from the chair in the living room over to the window door this morning. Then he walked from there all the way across the room the me on the couch. We got ready and then left to meet my Mom and Dad for the motorcycle memorial. On the way we stopped for a coffee and a pop. Jacob fell asleep in the car as usual. At the memorial there were about 100 motorcycles. Dad's motorcycle was towards the front of the groop. When we got there Jacob woke up (maybe because of all the loud engines. Went and talked to some of my parents friends. I put some sunscrean on Jacob while Nana held him. Jacob loved the motorcycles. Everyone started their engines and prepared to leave. We walked back to our car and as we walked back Jacob staired at all the motorcycles. As we passed by, the riders would reve their engines and Jacob would smile. Some were waving at him. He loved it. They took off in groops about 10 seconds apart. We brought up the rear behind another vehicle. And a couple of motorist trailed behind us. We saw 2 motorist on the side street, they pulled out behind us. After a short while, they decided to pass us and two other vehicles. It was a no passing zone due to the big curve. They passed us, then as they were passing the van in front of us, a car came around the curve. One of them swerved in front of us and the other guy tried to speed up and continue passing. We thought it was going to be a head on. The van had to swerve over and the car from the other direction had to drive in the grass. Very close call. This group met up with another groop from Flint. Alot of motorcycles all in one place was very cool. We had a pancake and sausage breakfast. Then we went over to look at the craft sale. No changing table in the bathroom so Nana held Jacob while I changed him. Jacob sat on the motorcycle with Papa and Nana. He wasn't even scared when Papa started up the engine with him on it. On the way home we stopped for ice cream in down town Midland. I think my Dad swallowed some plastic cause there was a piece missing from his spoon. I though it was so funny. We walked around town. When we got home Jacob went down for a nap and Jared and I went outside to plant some Aspen trees and clean up the yard. Jared dug a post hole to fix our fence and I tightened up some of the electric wire. Jacob woke up and was playing with his toys. He has this rocking lamb which he was trying to climb on. I set him on it and rocked him. He sat there and rocked for quite a while. He got off and then tried to get back on. When he couldn't he started to fuss for help. He hung on the the handles and even rocked himself some. We went to meijer for diapers and dog food. Got home and Jared and Jacob fed the animals as I watered the flowers.
