The BBQ Mobile!

The BBQ Mobile comes alive!

This is such a funny story.......I have been wanting to get rid of our 11 year old bbq since last summer. Well, it was still sitting out on our back deck this past weekend, when I told Martin (again) that I wanted it gone. I didn't care how he did it, but it had to go. It was old, dirty, gross, and yucky -- and I did not want to go into another bbq season with it. In typical Martin fashion, he spent the better part of Saturday taking it apart, piece by piece, screw by screw, and so on and so on. He wanted to recycle every bit that he could - plus keep the nuts and bolts and other odds and ends that he wanted. Well, he loaded it up into the back of the car and drove it to the recyle place. Goodbye BBQ! I thought that was the end of it -- I was so happy that it was finally gone! But, (you won't beleive this) the recycle place was closed, so he came back home with it! Ugh! Well, his wheels got to turning, and with Audriana's help, the two of them hatched a plan to make a go-cart of sorts out of the bbq pieces! Oh my gosh! So.....tonight I got home from work, and the 3 of them had been working on it. Our neightbors, the Kiki's came over, brought pizza, and joined in on the fun. Kelly brought his power tools and helped Martin finish assembling it, and Dawn (who is a phenominal artist) brought her paints over so she could officially brand it the "BBQ MOBILE". Here's a few pictues from the afternoon and evening.....

Here's how it all began.........

Now Audriana takes a turn...and of course, she goes up the hill a ways to really get the thing going....

Justus loved it, too! He was so full of smiles when his turn came up.....and so full of tears when his turn was over. :-) Poor little guy! But he's such a cutie!!!!!

Here's Caitlynn getting ready to go!
