You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

A Quad Mishap

Hunter got a little quad when he earned his black belt in karate. He went out to ride it - under Travis' supervision of course, and realized how dangerous they can be. All was fine until the throttle stuck and he couldn't get the bike to stop. Being a quick thinker he took both his hands and squeezed the break to try to get it to stop ( as a result the handle bar was lopsided and turned the bike full circle). Travis got to him to try to help and even with Travis' weight on the bike combined with Hunter's they couldn't get it to a halt. They finally got it to a neighbors and the brakes were smoking and they left it there. It really scared Travis and Hunter both. It's one of those things that I chalk up to the Lord's Hand in our lives. He took care of two of my favorite boys that day!

two of my favorites too! I didn't know about this! I feel so out of touch lately... I'm glad that all turned out okay.
