Now that was worth it! Revealing the best investment you ever made

The four-wheeler

Was I ever angry! My husband brought home a four-wheeler even though we couldn’t afford one. It was 1983, my son Dustin was 3 years old, and money was tight. Little did I know how much our lives were going to change.

We live out in the country in Montgomery County, and we rode everywhere we could find a trail. My son sat in front of his Dad, and I sat on the back and held a towel around my son to hold him on.

When our second son, Jason, was born, we had to invest in another four-wheeler. One for my husband and one son. One for me and the other son.

We have enjoyed our four-wheelers so much. Sometimes we packed food and drinks and rode from dawn until night. As our boys grew we found out how much fun mud could be. Sometimes we would be so muddy from our rides, we would have to take our clothes off before going in the house.

Our boys are grown now, and we don’t get together for rides as often. But I can say our four-wheelers have been the best investment we ever made because they were an investment in family.
