My most favorite weekends are the ones where we don’t have any “plans”. Even though we usually end up doing tons of chores, we get to spend the whole time together as a family. A few weekends ago we went for a drive to the bird refuge out past Brigham City. We saw lots of birds, (more than I expected for the winter) including some cranes and a bald eagle and we got to walk on the iced over river. Of course, Jaycey ran out and fell flat on her behind. Oh well! Since the refuge is way out there, Brian will usually let the girls drive for a few minutes each. For the most part, that means that they steer while sitting on his lap. This time he did something a little different and actually let Hayley do the whole thing: shift, steer, gas and brake. She caught on after only a few whiplash sessions. I think it’s cool that he finds the opportunities to teach them, especially while they are young enough to listen.

Okay, but I get to teach Hayley to drive stick!
That is funny becuase Nic sometimes let Mirabel sit on his lap if we were staying in the neighborhood and I got mad at him once and he said it was okay because Brian lets his girl do it.
