Dirt Bike Riding with the Hundley Boys!!!

A few months ago my boss and his wife went to China to adopt their little girl. She will be a year in September and she is an absolute doll. They have three sons and asked me if I would stay with them and housesit while they were gone. Not only would I be staying with their sons but their two nephews who were visiting from California also.

I was responsible for 5 young men of the ages, 13, 14, 15, 16, & 17. What was I getting into? I thought I would go insane but they were actually great and I enjoyed staying with them. We played games, had pizza, jumped on the trampoline and rode dirt bikes of course... It was around the 4th of July and they went a little crazy with the bottle rockets but nothing burnt down.

I enjoyed my stay with them and was tired out but would do it again. They were a little hard to motivate when it came to cleaning the house before their parents came home but it wasn't too bad. I actually experimented in the kitchen and made them a meal and was very proud of myself. I felt like a mom. Well, I decided to post some pictures of my stay with them. I can't wait to go out and ride the bikes again. Dr. Hundley said I am welcome at their home anytime!!!

Dirt bikes are so much fun. I'm ready for a ride. I spent the day watching and riding the dirt bikes with the Hundley boys and had a blast. 

Daniel taking me for a ride to get me ready to ride on my own. He has no fear and I had to yell at him to slow down. He wanted to take me out in the big bumpy field and I said no way. It brought back a few memories of when we went on a dirt bike ride in the Philippines. It was great. 

There's a nice big field to ride around in and hopefully you won't run into any poison oak. 

How much air can we get on this bike? The boys were building a jump to help them out. 

I think I'm ready to go for a ride by myself. I'm a little nervous but I can do it!  

I think I figured it out. Yeah! Watch out cause here I come.

I'm just a beginner and trying to figure out how the clutch works. I think I can do this. 

Time to say goodbye to the Acura. She was a good car and I will miss her. I was a freshman in highschool when my mom bought this car. We had lots of fun in it. Many memories but time to move on to bigger and better things! 

This is my new car (used but new to me). I absolutely love it. It is a 2001 Hyundai Elantra. I have had it for about three weeks now.  

Rachel and I were so excited to watch a baseball game. It was beautiful weather and we couldn't pass up free tickets. We had great seats in the shade and had a blast.

Rache and I bought ourselves a t-shirt and took little walk around the Safeco Field. It is huge. I made sure to get a picture of the Space Needle behind us. 

GO MARINER'S!!! 

My 2nd Mariner's Game. We had a hoot. The Mariner's won! Rachel & I were given free tickets to the game by the family we stayed with. Douglas was sooo sweet and gave us each $20 to buy a t-shirt. Thanks Douglas & Sally.

I love baseball. It's a game I understand (which is rare)!!! 

A little team pow wow. 

Do they call this a tight end? Oh wait, is that football? 

Swing batter batter swing. Hit a home run. Go Mariners. 

Ummm, yum. Who's hungry for seafood? 

These guys are so fun to sit and watch. I couldn't capture them throwing the fish. They are too quick. 

Pike Street Market. I couldn't believe how many flowers they sale. They smelt so good compared to the smelly fish and seafood. 

I love our American Flag. 

Now you know why guys like to be male cheerleaders. Bring it on. 

They had every kind of marching band and dance team you could imagine. These girls can shake it. This guy with the whistle was so funny to watch. He was very intense. 

The seafair pirates were so "loud". They would let off a huge bomb every 15 seconds and scare the crap out of us. We had this pirate walk up to us and he was smiling. I said to him that he looked to nice to be a pirate and he then growled out me. It was hilarious.

Korean dancing. This guy on the left was twirling this streamer with his head. It was amazing.
