We usually ride quads for fun. It's great entertainment and the kids absolutely love them. (Well, so do I, but that's a different story). But it's not all about fun around my house. My kids have to pull their own weight if they want special privileges. But hey, if you can turn work into play, by all means do it. It will do wonders for the kids work ethics, and makes it much easier for adults to get what they want from their kids when it comes time to do chores.

In this video, I had Cz take the bags of leaves to the dumpster at our neighbor's house. As you can tell, I'm pretty nervous when Cz rides around the truck. Mom would kill me if I let him run into it. I don't worry about it as much when she's not around and there's not a video camera catching the action, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna let mom know that.
