The grandson will cherish the memories. My granddaughters loved riding with me at 5-7 ages. Now I let them steer the golf cart. The 12 year old will be given the wheel and the gas next summer.The John Deere was acquired on a whim. I don't need it but like the look of it. Should probably sell it. I give my grandson rides with it, and when I get real old and the government takes my drivers license away. Maybe I will drive it on the sidewalk to get around. LOL.
