Today’s Shotgun Rider

For me, weekends are a time to get things done and hopefully try to find a little time to relax.

Jacob has a birthday party at our house (he is turning 3!) next weekend and around 60 kids, parents and relatives have RSVP'd. The party will be held mostly in the backyard (weather permitting) but we are short on tables and chairs for that many people.

Today Jacob and I have been getting things done for the party, including borrowing tables and chairs from other people. Due to that, we need to use my truck, so we moved Jacob's car seat out of our Equinox (crossover SUV) and into the truck so Jacob can help get ready for the party. The front seat has a feature enabling me to turn off the front passenger airbag, so Jacob gets to sit in the front seat of the truck.

I can count on one hand the number of times Jacob has ridden shotgun in the truck, but he absolutely loves it! He has a much better vantage point then he does in the other car and he is in the front seat, so he can see everything I can see as the driver. He loves pointing out the red/green lights, ooing and aweing over "race cars" (cars that look fast), and naming all of the big trucks (such as big rigs, cement mixers, flatbed trucks, tow trucks, etc).

So while we are getting things done, we are also having a fun time bonding over a thing as simple as a truck drive!

Good stuff here, and I hope all my steemit friends are having a good weekend!

Brian

Jacobs wish u a many many more returns of the day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY may god bless uh.

nice man! awesome post. I dont have much time myself with my daughter being so young, but my wife is a huge help. we are working on restoring an old 74 charger but its going so slow because as soon as we get outside to go start on something she starts crying! but im glad youre getting some good bonding time with your son. and shotgun for days! great post man i look foreword to more from you, especially if a lot of it is about fishing!

It's great you're engaging him in helping to prepare for his party. It bodes well for future endeavours...

This reminds me of when I would hang out in my grandpas VW. He would take me around and I would fall asleep almost instantly. Good memories

I see that you enjoy going forward you're right you have more access to see everything that happens in front of the car they always want to go forward, you should also be happy to be in the preparations for your birthday

Happy birthday for your son is very fortunate, my son just turned 6 years old on February 23 and it is a great joy for them.

The front seat has a feature enabling me to turn off the front passenger airbag

That's cool. Less worry for you.

Riding in trucks is awesome! I love my truck. Something special about driving around in it.

Jacob sounds like a very active and fun little guy. Enjoy it while he's still young. Everything goes by so fast.

So is friend @brian.rrr, you have said and you are right the weekends are to rest, share with family and with our children, go for a walk and relax, that's what I support you totally. How good that your little son I accompany you to do your things for your own party, because you also teach him since childhood to be a hard worker and learn to earn things, which I am sure is one of the messages that you want to teach your little one that because of what you say he has a lot of fun in the truck watching the cars, the lights, and that's good because he enjoys and distracts his innocent mind. You are an excellent father and you see that you love your children a lot, thank you for sharing this so nice with us and good happy weekend for you and your beautiful children too, and I hope you share with us the photos of your birthday party. Little Jacob and I'm sure he'll enjoy it. Greetings, friend, blessings

It’s the little moment in our children’s growing up years that we need to treasure. Internet my daughter staring at the red light and saying “GO daddy GO!!” Ahhh the innocence of a 4 year old.

I am happy too ini this weekend, I hope always happy and family together.

It seem like Jacobs really enjoy his birthday
And perfect weekend for jocob and Jacob's family member's 😙😙😙😍😍😍
