| Jake driving Ryan around in the Gator. Here's the story. Jake cons Ryan into getting in the Gator and as soon as Ryan gets in Jake takes off. Ryan hates Jake's driving. Ryan starts screaming and when Jake eventually stops, Ryan jumps out and starts yelling and running away from Jake. This happens over and over. You would think that Ryan would learn not get in the Gator with Jake but he keeps getting in. Of course, Jill and I just sit and watch the event and laugh. We are such good mom's. LOL! |
