Dear Jack: Supercross in Birmingham

15 years, 4 months.

Dear Jack,

Since you got your electric dirtbike this past Christmas, you have really gotten into anything related to dirtbikes.

So obviously, we as a family ended up going to Birmingham to see the Supercross event this past Friday night.

You loved every minute of it.

And now that I think about it, I took you to one of these events in Nashville nine years ago.

It’s so interesting to see how certain interests have stuck with you throughout the years.

Love,

Daddy

Dear Holly: You Actually Liked Supercross

9 years, 11 years. 

Dear Holly,

It never crossed my mind that you would actually enjoy going to the Supercross off-road motorcyle race our family went to last weekend in Birmingham.

I assumed it was just you having to go along with it because your brother is so into it. But to my surprise, you specifically told Mommy and I that you liked being there.

So I guess that helps, knowing our family will start going to Supercross more regularly moving forward.

Love,

Daddy

Dear Holly: Back Again at Moonflower Farms

9 years, 10 months.

Dear Holly,

Despite it snowing here in Alabama this week, Spring is in the air. So this past Saturday, Mommy and I took you back to Moonflower Farms; just a short Jeep ride down the road from our house.

You and Mommy enjoyed being able to pick your own tulips again, just like we did last year. And apparently it is also tradition that when we go there, you get to also pick out a souvenir from one of the local vendors.

One of the vendors had a station where you could choose patches to put on a hat or a bag. So you now have a new mini-size travel bag for our many upcoming trips this year!

 

Love,

Daddy

Dear Jack: Putting on Your New Tires and Rims

15 years, 4 months.

Dear Jack,

With your 16th birthday coming up this November, now is the time to get your Mazda Miata ready for the road. So you and Papa spent this past Saturday not only cleaning up your car, but also taking off the original tires and rims; replacing them with the new set you bought in Atlanta the weekend before, while we bought our new Jeep.

Oh, yeah… you still need to go take your Driver’s Permit, before you can even get your Driver’s License. That’s on the agenda for next week…

 

Love,

Daddy

Dear Holly: We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Jeep

9 years, 10 years. 

Dear Holly,

Well, your brother is basically the same size as Mommy and me now. As for you, you’re big enough to where you sit in the front seat any chance you get.

So it was time to size up from our 2 door Jeep, to a 4 door Jeep. I think everyone’s favorite part is that the top is an automatic convertible.

This is the right time for our family to enjoy our new toy. Sometimes you just have to choose fun over practical!

Love,

Daddy
