Meet Tin Lizzie. This was an idea Grandpa Jensen got in his head awhile back. He really wanted to find one of these gas mini cars so he could start teaching the boys how to work on an engine and drive. A little tricky to find. So he put James on the hunt. And sure enough.... Lizzie was found. A model T replicar. Think disneyland autotopia. James and Grandpa J did the pick up in Yuma and it was ready for driving lessons a day later. Its so cute. These pictures do NO justice.
Yes, they had to wear the hat. And they did it with out a complaint.
There was tree climbing of course inbetween driving.
Yes.. I actually drove it. How could I not!! I could barley get out.
Even Grandma J got in on the action. She was quickly disciplined by Grandpa J for going way to fast, and not following the recommended path. Bad Grandma.
There was also some electric bike training sessions. Don't worry that helmet was placed on right after this shot.
Josh was an old pro. Of course this is not his first go cart. Can you tell he loves it?
I love this running alongside.
Grandpa J was so excited. I think we will have years of fun memories with this car. Just what he was dreaming about. Making memories is Grandpa J's specialty. I love that about him. This has always been the case with my sweet Dad. I could make a long list of childhood memories that Dad and of course Mom made happen.
Can you imagine 16?
Logan was too busy eating a carrot... don't worry buddy, you will have a turn soon enough!
And as always with Grandpas fun toys, there is a learning lesson involved. So, after you play, you must wash down the car. We always take care of these blessings.
Grandpa... it was a hit. We didn't believe you at first.... but you were right. This is going to be years of awesome memories and pictures. I love you!!!

This is just like a miniature version of the old car rental business back in Napa. He really is creating great memories for Matt. Steph
