@@rodneyss19 Wait until she sees this weekends video! HA We actually have a great relationship with our neighbors that you can see in the videos, The white house the other side of the driveway is basically our adopted family. All 3 houses across the street we occasionally get together(the 5 houses in total) for BBQ. The lady at the end of the road has a ring camera and sends me the clips doing donuts in the culdesac :) Funny thing is, we aren't the rowdy household
