Taking a drive...

Doesn't everyone enjoy taking a drive? Off to a known or unknown destination--with the wind in your hair, bugs on your windshield, or freezing rain under your tires? Within the kingdom walls as of late, there's been a whole lot of driving going on. Recently, Princess Abigail and her friend, Knight Benjamin, took out the new, red, sportster gifted to her and her brothers from Auntie Cookie (Stephanie), Uncle Doug, and cousins Clo-Clo (Chloe) and 'sh' (Joshua). So, off they went with snacks in hand....(don't they look so cute and content?)

But, all of the sudden, a complete blow out occurs, and the flat tire leaves them temporarily stranded.... :( Together, they ponder what to do next....


Then, Abby gets an idea. "Benjamin, you must exit the sportster and fix the flat tire." Knight Benjamin seems pleased with her suggestion as he is a young man of strong muscles and character. He knows he can fix the tire and get them on their way again....and then, their casual drive can continue. :)
Prince Alec on the other hand, hasn't quite graduated yet to the level of sportster, and instead, drove the purple Bumbo around the kingdom's lush grounds. As you can tell, he has it mastered.
Prince Aramis prefers to drive Daddy around. It's a much more cozy ride and right now, that's all the driving he wants to do. :)

The kingdom has been amid a number of changes as of late. The boys are beginning to sleep (thank goodness!) and Miss Abigail is in school and off socializing several times a week. Grandma Kathy has also been visiting--to keep the kingdom in line, of course. :) The best part of our drive are the stories we share after we've completed them, so we suspect that more stories (and ultimately more driving) is still to be enjoyed.
