"You are Effing Joking!" Ianto said blandly as he stared at the golf cart.

"Your back is not yet healed, the bikes are too rough and it takes too long to drive. This way we can toddle around the lake, enjoy the view and get there well in time" Jack said calmly as he knew Ianto would dig his heels in at the sight of the decommissioned golf cart with the large bed in the back instead of seats.

"Awesome!" Hawk yelled, running for the driver's seat "I will drive!"

"Great" Ianto said with a droll eye roll "He can drive!"

"No!" Jack pulled at the child and Hawk clung to the steering wheel like a limpet.

"But Daddy, it's the same as my car… I know how it works!" the child said with growing anger.

Babs was not the only one who had to deal with what they created and Ianto was snow holding back giggles as Jack planted his feet and pulled some more, the child snarling now as he showed a lot of strength for a little tyke.

Jill solved it by climbing in the passenger side and calmly bulldozing the child out of the way to get to her Hooman Licking Stick. Jack left on the ground with a Hawk pinning him doing covered by a mop dog that was now happily licking them both half to death.

Ianto climbed gingerly into the bedding and settled, finding it more comfortable than he thought it was. He knew he would feel every bump and dip but that this was also a thoughtful thing Jack had spent a lot of time arranging for him.

"Jill, come"

The dog haughtily bounced over to land on Ianto's feet and settle over him like a rug, pleased to be useful for the other big Hooman in her life. This one had been bothersome lately and she found she had to hold him down a bit now and then as he moved around too much for his waters.

"Tally Ho-ho-ho!" Hawk screamed as he stood by Ianto's head, holding onto the roll cage of the cart to wave one hand above his head like he was about to lasso a bloody bison or something "GO DADDA!"

Jack stomped the power and the cart sedately hummed as it moved lowly enough that the child dropped the swinging arm and looked over at his dad "Seriously citizen? You know… if Captain Kitty Hawk ws here he could run faster than this!"

Jack blinked at his son's distain as Ianto finally let the giggling start.

"Nice" Jack muttered to himself as they bounced along "Bloody wonderful."

Was a nice ride though, he was right about that.

The scenery was lovely.
