Something to definitely be proud of.  I can't imagine doing anything with my 
family that I would love more.  (unfortunately, THEY like things with motors 
:( )  Congratulations to you Jim and to your family.

I do have a question though.  How old are your kids?  I'm not putting down 
the Lewis's, but I do have serious qualms about putting a 3 year old out 
there on an endurance ride.  I know, he did an LD, but what's next?  And even 
a 25 seems a tish long for a 3 year old child.  Its one thing to take a horse 
crazy 10 to 16 year old kid (or that age range) and ride like heck, its 
another thing to take a 3 year old.  I'm sorry, but the idea just appalls me. 
(just my honest opinion).
