Default East Coast "Easter Jeep Safari" at Rausch Creek Day 2 Videos

Just some quick videos I took on Sat. Ignore the 3 year old's commentary.

I thought the 3yr old did a good job on his commentary...

Great videos! The commentary was good as well.

Everyone who tried YellowJacket made it, including the Lexus SUV. It was a really good obstacle with the rain coming down. A lot of fun.

By the way, it was nice meeting you all. Thanks for waiting for us in the morning. I thought we had a bunch of good looking JKs in our group.

Here is what I have of the Toyota that was with us (videos):

Some of you may find this funny...

I call the first one AWARENESS a 3yr old in the 3rd row of a JK:

I call the second one OBLIVIOUS a 1yr old in the 2nd row of a JK:

I think I'll wait a few years before bring them out again. They did have fun, but probably not as much as me.

I like how you"rocked" the third one to sleep in the OBLIVIOUS video. Next time we're out, I would like to see your 3rd seat.

I agree, but I do think it depends on the child. Our oldest, now 4 years old has been off roading since just before he turned 2. He LOVES it and would be very unhappy if Jeepin Dad went without him. Our youngest, at 2 yrs. doesn't quite have the tolerance for long car rides, he likes to get out of the Jeep and play in the woods etc. But, when he is 'all done to this' he will let you know in no uncertain terms!

I loved your videos - really great - cute kids!

I started taking my oldest since about 2 years old too... I was out with him maybe three or four times and he loves it too.

It's just that I recently installed a Little Passenger's 3rd row seat which he can use without a child car seat (it's designed for their size) and its right over the rear wheels and the seat is not very soft and he doesn't have much to hold on to, so poor guy was bouncing all over the place. In a car seat in the 2nd row is a whole different story... around town the 3rd row is great but off-road a bit too much fun for a small kid.

Thanks for the encouragement.
