Connor's Jeep Adventure

Connor had his own adventure on Summer's birthday! Uncle Greg arrived at the birthday party in his cool, new, bright yellow jeep.

A little bit of background info...
Right after Greg got the jeep, Connor spotted it in his driveway as we were going by to Grandma and Grandpa's house and exclaimed, "Josh, got new car! That a cool car!" When we got to Grandma and Grandpa's, Josh was there and right away Connor started talking to him about his cool, new car. Greg heard about this conversation...

So they came in it to the party with full intentions of whisking Connor away for a ride. And oh, he got a ride alright. Greg took him for two long rides around the neighborhood...but it didn't end there. Somehow when it was time for Greg and Deb to go home, Connor finagled his way back into the jeep. :) He went on his first trip to Uncle Greg's house all by himself! He had SO much fun!!

We went later that evening to pick him up and found Connor and Josh playing on his skateboard. Connor was covered in dirt (literally!) from head to toe. He had been jumping on the trampoline, riding with Josh in the Gator, and obviously playing in the dirt. We borrowed their tub for a quick bath before heading home with a very, tired boy!

Thank you, Uncle Greg, Auntie Debbie and Cousins Nicole, Michaela, and Josh! Connor had the time of his little life!
Leaving in the jeep...

Oh, and Connor came home with only one boo boo - which is pretty good for Connor! I guess a little fall on the skateboard landed him right on his nose...

** If I remember correctly, this isn't Gregy's first jeep... Greg took Connor for a ride this time, but I remember taking Greg for a ride in a jeep about 14 years ago! Connor's ride wasn't as eventful as mine either...there was no almost hitting a tree...no pushing dirt with the front end. And another big difference, Greg drove this time and had his licence...I drove last time and didn't have mine! :) But somebody had to be brave enough to teach me! **
