We headed back to Kansas for a few days to visit Kristina's family. It had been over two years since we had come back for a visit, so it was definitely time. It was a quick trip, but a good trip. The only bad thing is that we couldn't figure out how to fit Indy into one of our carry-ons, so she had to stay home a have the pet sitter take care of her. Just so you know, she didn't even miss us while we were gone!
The way the flight worked out, we traveled on a Thursday and arrived around 9:30 pm Thursday night. That worked out pretty well because it allowed us to get some rest while Maisie and Rhett finished up soccer camp Friday morning. That allowed for a dirt bike exhibition Friday afternoon. Da-Da has always loved dirt bike riding and was quite good at it, but he basically stopped riding when he was in middle school. That being said, Rhett is now able to ride dirt bikes and he is absolutely just CRAZY about it. So Rhett had to show us his "mad" dirt biking skills at the Inman Motocross Track. It is literally like 20 minutes from Da-Da's house. We went had the entire track to ourselves on this particular Friday afternoon.
Da-Da looking like he was a kid again. He is riding Honda CR125. Kristina's loves his look: shorts with dirt bike riding boots, helmet, gloves, and his sunglasses.
Of course Jared had to try the track out as well. Here he is on Da-Da's bike -- supposedly taking it easy because he didn't have any "gear" on or with us.
Rhett catching some air. Rhett is a cautious dirt bike rider (unlike his Dad). However, that is a GOOD thing. You can tell he is out there surveying things and taking everything into account for before he does anything stupid. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK RHETT!

Grandpa Flipe had to get into the action and had to wave the "flag" near the end of the course.
