Can we drive home?

Aunt Di-Di was in town this weekend! We headed down to grandpa's for a weekend trip. Other than lack of sleep and Ken being sick (which by the way- the combination of both of those two things SUCK) it was a weekend filled with swimming, FOOD , cocktails and the boy's BIG surprise! Grandpa is the King of presentations and he wanted to do an "early" birthday weekend since Aunt Di-Di was in town. He set up the table outside the garage in the blazing sun. Boys were so confused wondering why the hell we were outside in the heat eating our birthday cupcakes instead of swimming but then......WHAMMO...grandpa hit the garage door open!!! It was worth the 10 minutes of scorching heat for this presentation. I tried to capture their faces but it doesn't do it any justice. Just the way grandpa set it up, opened the garage and the boys saw their new presents. The great part was Rich was there (our police officer) and Christian got a police car so it was a whole weekend was filled of making fun of Rich and Christian being on donut runs!! The boys also asked if they could drive them home on the highway.
Why are we sitting in the sun Grandpa when we could be swimming? PRESTO... THE GATES OPEN TO PURE BLISS
HAD A GREAT TIME MAKING FUN OF RICH...Labeled the car from the city he works in. Named Christian "Captain Donut" and had Christian go out on donut runs for us.
Let me just say...I wanted to drive these things. Once I got past my heart palpitations at how fast they drive, visions of them flipping over as they did donuts in the grass and crashing...I was game. Christian's has a microphone that works. He kept saying "Breaker 1-9, Breaker 1-9, we have a emergency need to get the donuts". Nicolas's has a little radio in it that actually seeks for real channels and plays on occasion. It is hysterical. I tried to fit rocky on the back of Nicolas's Ford 150 but it didn't work out so well.... One last comment...Nicolas DOES NOT LIKE TO BE PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE FOR A TICKET. The war starts between them!
