Big Surprise...

Aspen couldn't wait to see what the new big surprise was at Grandma and Grandpa Mason's home was. We took her and Danny around front to have them wait and they started banging on the garage door in anticipation. What was it? ....A New Mercedes SUV ....Ya! You be jealous right now! Ok, Ok, so really it was meant for the grandkids:) But, Hey, I can have fun too!We had a fun time hanging out front in the nice weather as a family. It took Aspen a while to figure out how it all worked. She kept pushing and letting go of the gas, instead of steadily holding it down. And Mom was telling her how to steer, "You turn in this way to go this way" and "this way to go that way" (holding her hands out in front like she is driving and rotating them left and right). Then if you want to go straight, you do this" (rotating her hands back in forth like little kids do when they are pretend driving). And this is exactly how she steers now! She doesn't ever go straight, but zigzags up and down the road! Hahaha! Great teaching Mom! Then later, Danny realized what made it go and became a little frustrated that he couldn't reach the gas and steer while looking ahead at the same time. What a little stinker bug.
