One day while we were visiting Jake's parents, we took the boys on an empty dirt road and let them try steering the car. Jacob was surprisingly good, but I guess it might be from all that MarioKart driving on the Wii.
Jacob was so proud of himself!
Will needed a bit more guidance from his daddy.
But he was just as proud as his brother!
Sometimes (okay, almost all the time) I wish that we were raising our kids out in the country, where life is calmer and back roads are abundant. I wish we could have land with a tractor and some animals, where we could learn to be more self-sufficient and raise the kids to appreciate hard work. Sometimes that dream is almost strong enough to leave military life and find a place to set down our roots... but with only 7 more years until retirement eligibility, that is highly unlikely. Only seven more years... then it's back roads, here we come!
