Grandpa & Grandma V.M.'s...

Ava's first "driving" experience

I decided to head to my parents house for a change as my mom has made many trip to our house since I've been on bed rest. My parents have an old Barbie jeep that they got from their neighbor which hadn't been out of the shed this year. The battery needed replacing so it barely moved. Well, Ava got in the drivesr seat and loved every minute of moving at a snails pace! It was her first experience at driving which was interesting! Sam was quite disappointed with the speed as he is used to using it at a normal pace, so he spent all of his time pushing Ava around. She quickly turned over complete control of steering, shifting from reverse to forward, pushing the gas pedal, and general driving while Sam manually took care of it all. He pushed while stopping to shift and turn the steering wheel after his numerous efforts to instruct Ava failed miserably! She effortlessly rode around while Sam worked his tail off to make her ride enjoyable!
We also had to go visit the calf in the barn. Ava remembered the last time we were at the farm that she has watched Grandpa Glenn bottle feed a calf and she wanted to do it again. The calf no longer needed a bottle, but she did get to go out and see it eat from a pail. The infatuation with animals continues. It was great to spend time out at the farm even though it was miserable humid!
