The ranger when it was little

 

I might have to be moved to the maybe category as of right now, I already have work being lined up for right away in the spring, as of right now I have a house to build and a cabin to build. But, Im going to try to make it though...

 

its worth the time off.

I dont care what is going on I am there!

ditto... even on the flude i get scheduled at work i will not be there at all lol...

being i am taking it off on the first for this year i am telling them lol...

 

Will this meet be family friendly if I decide to go and bring the wife and kids.

 

ya why not?

there is some drinking of members but normally is ok...

how old are your kids?

Chad brings his Daughter she is what 12 now Chad?

wife's GF usually come so thats not a problem

 

are you coming ?

 

That was my wifes only question when I asked her if she wanted to go. My daughters are 2 and 6.

 

um thats a little young but i bet we could work around with it

 

Put me down as a maybe. I have family in Kalamazoo and grand rapids, I usually visit at least once a yr!! I think i can plan that!!

 

Awesome! Hope you can make it work out Josh.

 

Are the dunes close to grand rapids? More specifically Grand Valley State University? I have friends there

Its in Mears Michigan. I don't think its 2 far away.

 

I dont drink, but the drinking is normally pretty low key.

I think everyone can be adults about it.

There are usually several camp sites, and you can have your own fire or go over to others. Out on the dunes its family friendly for sure, good times out there.

 

we will work around it.

my only question about a 2yr old is it is very bouncy out there in the truck.

 

A helmet would be a good idea for the kids. I've seen many people have young kids with them, and have bike helmets on them in the car in a car seat. Or if you can work it out, maybe leave them at home for the weekend.

 

Don't leave them at home, I think the kids would enjoy it. I know I would have loved to go out when I was a kid

 

oh its fun for sure, but 2 years old might be a little young for bouncing around like that. i could be completely wrong though, i dont have kids.

 

Alright I asked the expert. My GF has a teaching degree in early childhood. In her opinion, 2 years old would be to young for out there, to much bouncing and a pretty long day. That's just what she thinks, but she's not their parents.

 

Oh I didn't think about that, I've never been lol.

 

Im one of the drinking people but we can be good, I can't promise evey swear word or beer will be hidden from there little eyes and ears, but I have little cousins and I know how they sponge crap up.

But we ussually drink a few and walk around, so its not bad. Its not like we are party animals lol.

As for age riding in the dunes. 2 years old is pushing it. There is alot of bouncing around. I know infants can get shaken baby syndrom, but I am not sure how old they have to be before they can't get it?

You could always take it real easy, but drop offs do happen. Most the time when I see little kids they are in 5 points and helmets.

My back and kneck hurt a couple times when riding in zachs truck,,,but he was also going 60 MPH accross the dunes lol.

 

My 2 year old is not happy unless she is playing in the mud in dads truck or riding the 4 wheeler with by the river. She is not your average 2 year old. I will have to give it some thought.

 

Yes im gonna schedule it off work tomorrow it should be plenty of advance to get it off my boss is cool anyways. I just hope the truck is complete.
As for the kids i know that my brother and i were riding in the back of our dune buggy when we were about 3 or so but its up to you. I think they'd ike it.
