Stick shift and fireworks


Saturday was fun for all around here.... Grandpa taught Hannah how to drive a stick shift (using James truck) and Jonathan spent several hours shooting off bottle rockets. What more could anyone ask for? :)

Hannah did a terrific job of driving the stick shift - she just took right to it like an old pro. Watching her and Daddy go by, up and down on the driveway, made me think of how many of us have learned to drive out here - with Daddy patiently teaching every single one of us. It certainly goes back quite a few generations - and includes several cousins, etc! 


Hannah navigating a back up while Jonathan takes aim with a bottle rocket. (just kidding...... sort of....) :

Here she comes!

What exactly is he up to??


Hmmmm, isn't that your old GI Joe guy there under your boot?






I'm pretty sure this is against the Geneva convention or something...

"But Mom, I just want to see if I can make him shoot across the driveway."   :D

Hannah: When you return, we can trade cars if you want to drive the stickshift 87 Subaru!
Jonathan: I see a future mechanical engineer there!

Yeah, but Hannah will never have the thrill of taking her chauffeur's license test in "The red truck that automatically honked when you turned the corner" so her grandpa could always have someone in town who could drive more than 12 people in the university van!

To this day, when I drive by the Armory, I still think about that...

Looks like a fun day! Sorry I don't comment more, I have no idea why but my computer is fussy about loading your blogs. Some days it will load the pages after a time but once in awhile it won't load at all.
