First Driving Lesson

This weekend was very relaxing, we had no plans and no schedule!  On Sunday we went out to the farm as a family.  It's the first time I've been out there in a while, however, Connor rides frequently with Matt.  The ride can get a little long especially when the toddler in the back acts like he has ants in his pants.  His attention span these days is about 2 seconds! (Thank goodness for the TV in the truck!!!)

This time Connor got to ride on my lap in the front seat once we got to the farm.  He was so excited to see all the cows!  He started saying "Mooooo, Mooooo" and he was grinning from ear to ear. 


See why Connor was so excited??? You could almost touch them from the window!

Once we got to the back of the farm, Matt wanted Connor to practice driving.  Apparently Matt did this with his Granddaddy and still remembers it to this day.

What a natural!

As soon as I saw Connor sitting in the driver's seat, I had a flash forward to him being 16.  Even though we are no where close to that, time is really flying by.  I don't know who was more excited about the driving lesson, Matt or Connor. 


As you can see from the pictures, we were very indecisive when we went to the store for snacks.  And those snacks were so tempting for Connor, that he couldn't resist.  We will definitely have to make a rule that there is no eating and driving, once he gets behind the wheel!

My point exactly. . .

Obviously not paying attention to driving!


Anyone who knows Matt, knows that he loves anything that goes fast and Connor is following in those footsteps.  Judging by the picture below, I am in for a very rude awakening in the near future with these two!

(Matt really wasn't going fast, he just hit the gas pedal playing with Connor.)

When Connor and Matt weren't eating or driving, they were staring off into La La Land. (Also known as ADD, which is a very strong personality trait for the both of them!)


While they were having a good time driving, I just sat back and enjoyed the ride.  However, I can already tell you that I will NOT be the one who teaches Connor how to drive!  Hopefully Connor will have plenty of days practicing with Matt in the field before he's let loose on the road.

*** All of these pictures were taken while riding on the farm and we never went above 5 mph.  At no point was Connor in any danger while driving. ***
