Driving!

6/11/22

We were painting the new fence panels in the driveway so mom and dad had parked their cars on the street. It was time to move them back so mom thought perhaps Lizzy could park it in the driveway. Dad thought that maybe Rachel could try it too. Dad said that because Lizzy is taller she would park the truck and Rachel would park the car. Lizzy went first:

Dad was doing the teaching.
Lizzy was paying close attention!

Unfortunately Lizzy wasn’t taught that the brake has to be held down until you have it in drive. She tapped the brake while moving the stick but released it and she plowed backwards almost into the cross street. Luckily dad was able to scream instructions for her to hold down the brake. Let’s try this again shall we:

Are you ready now?
Easy does it. . .

She’s off:

We live on a cul de sac so she had to drive it down the short street and around the cul de sac and back up and into the driveway.

She drove practically without giving it any gas so it took a while, but she did it!

There was a car that came down the road when she was on her way back that freaked her out a bit, but they turned into a driveway.
Good job Lizzy!

Rachel’s turn to park the car:

The windows are darkly tinted but Rachel is in the drivers seat and Sullivan is in the passenger seat giving her instructions, starting with you must hold down the brake!
Rachel went very slowly and steadily as well and she did great!
Easy does it up the driveway not to hit the truck.
That was fun!

Whew, no cars, people, or objects were injured or destroyed! Good job girls!
