9:52 AM  Went Hummering!!!!

We had a GREAT day yesterday...we went out with Todd's Hummer and about 50 - 60 other Hummers to a ranch out in Dade City and spent the morning off-roading. Took a lot of good pics...http://public.fotki.com/braddva/hummer_off-road/

All went well except for back to back injuries to my youngest son Liam. He is only 3 so, although minor, the injuries were quite tramatic. First, when we hit a big dip or gulley, the force drove him forward so hard he got a bloody lip hitting himself on the seat in front of him. This is despite being locked into his car seat. He was pretty shaken up and upset. Only 5 mins later after a brief stop, his brother must have unhook the seat belt holding his car seat in accidentally. On the next track we hit another bump and Liam, car seat and all ended up upside-down ontop of his older brother on the floor of the back seat! It was pandamonium, they were both screaming in terror! We couldn't stop the car as we were right on the trail and there was literally no-where to pull off as we were in a forrested area in a gulley with cars behind us. Luckily we found a place to pull over and we fixed it. He was a bit nervous after that but slowly got over it as we got closer to the end of the course.
