our friends were over to visit this morning.  
we were starting to get a little stir crazy, 
and the sun was shining SO... we decided to head outside.

after tromping through the field, 
a few rounds on the swing,
and kicks of the ball, 
jace convinced me to let them drive
... the gator.

jace took his usual seat in the driving position (such a "guy")

and they were off... all four of them!

they attempted a tour of the beanfield... 
after being high-centered on a ridge,
they opted to stay on the beaten path

such a nice day for a drive

turning them loose... watch out pedestrians!

now it's her turn.  a little driving lesson from jace before she takes off.
(i LOVE how he has his arm around her... they look like an old married couple) 

ok.  here's where it got interesting!
i'm telling you... i was laughing so hard that i was
crying by the time this was over!

and for the record...
i LOVE this little girl like she is my own!
love her to pieces...
i'm sure she'll be a wonderful driver...
someday.  ;)

miss. elli asked to drive.
jace argued for a bit...
and then gave in and let her.

after driving over a camping chair 
skillfully driving under the monkey bars

and then...
driving through her mom's landscaping,
(where she said, "oops!  mommy's flowers!")
...she ended up in the following predicament

i'm pretty sure she's "gunning" it here

the first time, jace said, "that's ok elli, try it like this"
(and backed her out and turned the wheel) the second time... neither of them were very gracious!
(a little too much like adults?)

a little more driving
 

and then a stop for "pinecone pizza"

They are just like a married couple... and maybe not a very old couple either :)

Tim drove the whole way to Hilton Head and back... I didn't drive and inch. And its ALWAYS like that.

They are just too cute!
