Cushioning the blow of returning from our sunny vacation was the opportunity for Isabelle to finally bring her Santa gift out of the basement and give it a spin outside. Logan was headed over to visit and collect some of the wicked stuff we picked him up in Florida. As his car pulled up the street, he saw Isabelle and Oliver outside cruising in the mini Mercedes SUV. He quickly climbed out of his car and hopped in with Isabelle, who was surprisingly adept at many of the basic driving skills already. Must be all that watching Mom and Dad from the back seat for the past 4+ years!
They did their best not to crash into anything and we definitely got some flash-forwards to a dozen years from now when these same 2 punks will be picking each other up in actual vehicles. Yikes! Hopefully, they don't goof around as much then when they are behind the wheel. Isabelle was happy to drive while Logan was much more concerned with changing the radio station. Although as you can see above, they did battle for control of the wheel as well! Based on their first lesson, we would all feel more comfortable if Isabelle picked up Logan rather than the other way around.
Oliver did his best to fit in with the big kids where he could and quite liked the view from the passenger seat as big sister chauffeured him past our neighbours, one of which thought the car was remote control. Sorry, lady, it's all her, stay in a safe spot! It is shaping up to be a fun summer on our street, let's just hope Isabelle actually wants to walk every once in a while. Hard to convince her when you can ride in style!
Get used to it, Isabelle. When you have your real license, Oliver will be wanting rides all the time!
