Default Sunday Ride
Sunday was a beautiful day here so I met my son and 2 granddaughters at a canal to go fishing. When I was leaving, my older one Emmalee reminded me that I promised her a ride. We bypassed the airbag and put her seat in the car, she's turning 5 neat week, and off we went. On the road from the canal boat ramp I hit the gas enough to "wiggle it's butt" and she was hooked. She made my day with her smile. She has told everybody including the dogs about how cool grandpa's car is. This was the best sunday drive i've ever been on. She can't wait for the next ride, and neither can I.
