The Old Go-cart

Jerry came home from work one day, in the early 70’s, with a surprise for our kids. He bought a used go-cart for about $50.00. It was the best investment he made in a long time! We still have that old go-cart and now our grand-kids are having as much fun as our kids way back then.

This is Teddy when the go-cart was new to us! The kids were all so excited!

 

 

 

 

My dad! Glen Williamson. He always loved to have fun!

Both places we lived at, with the go-cart, had very long driveways. You have to have a long driveway with a go-cart!

 

 

We’ve skipped a few years now.               Here is son-in-law, Gene!

 

 

 

 

Jerry had to go for a spin too!

 

 

 

 

Here’s Robby in 1987.

 

 

 

 

 

Andrew in 1994.

 

 

 

Rob helping Matthew in 1994.

 

 

 

 

 

Matthew, after we moved to our present home. He’s crossing our pedestrian bridge. His helmet slipped back so it’s rather uncomfortable but…who cares?!

 

 

Matthew, 2013! Our family get together! Of course the old go-cart was repaired and was ridden by anyone who wanted to… Matthew wanted to…

 

 

 

Going back again a few years…okay quite a few years… It’s back at our former home.

 

Here’s BJ Guthrie! Marge Koppinger is in the background holding one of her daughters. Jerry is there also holding Annie.

 

 

 

 

Caleb Guthrie!

 

 

 

 

 

 

A friend of Rob’s wanted to ride, Jeff Zimmerman!

 

 

 

We’re proud to have entertained some influential folks in our home. The Roller family came one weekend on a speaking engagement and stayed with us. The kids noticed the go-cart right away!

This is Thad Roller! The set of legs in the background are his father’s! Today his father is Bishop David Roller! Back then he was a missionary.

 

 

Vangie Roller! She loved riding even more than Thad!

If I recall…David and Yvonne Roller each had a turn to ride too! I just didn’t get pictures of them! It was a very fun day!  Who knew David would one day be Bishop!!!

 

 

Back to our family. Here is Rob giving Tyler a ride.

 

 

 

Tim gave Annie a ride. She didn’t want me to take their picture!

Rob and Jessica are the young couple watching!

 

 

Rob gave Kaleb a ride! That’s Annie in the background with a red helmet. She’s waiting for her turn!

Here’s Kaleb this summer!

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s another picture of Kaleb after a little repair work. He barely fits with his long legs!

Some of the other kids wanted to ride too!

Mason, last year.

Mason, this year. That’s Kaleb directing traffic!

 

 

 

 

This is Bella a year ago!

 

 

 

 

 

Here is Bella this summer.

 

 

 

 

Elmise.

This was Elmise’s and Armon’s first time to drive!!!

 

 

 

 

Armon. He was yelling “Yeah” at the top of his lungs all the way!!!

 

 

 

Rob showing off just a little bit!

 

What a fun time everyone had!

 

 

Everyone wanted to cheer them on!

This is part of the gang at our house this summer watching the kids ride the old go-cart.

Rob, Armon, Kaleb, Elmise, Bella, Tim, Matthew, Miller, Haleigh, Annie, Shauna and Maddie. Hmmm, who’s on the go-cart? Maybe Mason!
