Night Show

The other night after dinner we were all cleaning up and doing dishes. Nothing in our house is ever quiet, especially when we are all in the same room of the house. Well all of a sudden, Caden bolts out the back door, runs in a says, "yep, they just started them up, hurry it's time for the show!!!" At which time all the boys frantically finish up their jobs of clean-up and run outside. I go outside and cannot hear anything. I asked Caden what he was talking about, and he tells me that they are coming. I listen harder, and still cannot hear anything. I was on the back porch at this time, and he first heard them while we were in the kitchen, and I STILL cannot hear anything. I was a little confused. The boys are running to get "front row seats to the show" Chet and I are totally curious at this time, and the boys are ushering the neighbor kids to our neighbors retaining wall, totally going along their fence line in THEIR backyard, and go to THEIR retaining wall and all sit down. She was out smoking on her front porch so I asked her if it was ok that my boys are sitting there, not knowing if this had already been asked. She had no idea what was going on, but there was so much excitement going on. Before we know it, we have about 8-10 boys, Chet and I, Matt and Dawn (our neighbors) sitting on their wall watching some teenage boys ride their dirt bikes up and down the hills behind us. They would pop a wheelie and they would all cheer and get excited. It was so dang funny. I got pics but cannot get them to post of all these boys lined up. Oh my goodness it was funny. I laughed the whole "show", about 10 minutes, just watching the excitement. Come to find out, they had been there the previous 2 nights, and my boys would run over where they could watch. The boys would come talk to my boys after they were done riding. Their audience was growing. It's the small things in life. If teenagers even knew the influence they have on younger kids, they would be baffled. I love to see my boys get so excited like that!!! It was a good night.
