The Ramp

A few weeks ago Chris asked if we could build him a ramp for his bike. Chris had been on one at a friends house and had been talking about it since then. I figured we would wait until Papa & Nana were here and he could ask Papa to help him build one.

On Tuesday after school Bryan, Papa and Chris headed to Home Depot to get the supplies. Little did I know what kind of ramp they would be building. When I came home I saw this nearing completion.....

They built an adjustable ramp that starts at 8 inches and can expand up to 2 feet. Just what we need; as if our kids were not accident prone enough without the help of a bike ramp to catapult them through the air. I have to admit though the ramp is pretty cool. Bryan was even able to go off it on his bike so we know the thing is secure.

Heading up the ramp is serious business

Look at him go.... he is in heaven with this ramp now and we are enjoying watching the joy it brings to him and all the kids in the neighborhood.

So thank you Papa for a really cool ramp.
