Mini Motoring

Once again, since the weather has been so amazing, we have also taken the mini out for a few drives. On Monday we decided to take the boys on a drive up to Pokagon Park for a hike. We had a fantastic time! The drive was beautiful- lots of things to look at on the route we took. It was mainly through the country and past some lakes, so everything was really pretty.

When we got to Pokagon I had to feed Leo, then we put him into the baby carrier and took off. We've done this hike a couple of times, but this was the first time Max would try and hike it on his own. He did awesome! He ran and walked almost the whole way- only needing a piggy-back-ride from me and then a shoulder ride from Dad towards the very end. We saw a couple of deer and lots of chipmunks, birds, and squirrels. It was a great day!

After our hike we drove around Lake James and saw the cottage Clint rented one year for school. It was right on the water. Clint enjoyed living there for a year while he was going to Tri-State. On the way home we stopped at Mad Anthony's in Auburn for dinner. It is cool that they opened one up in Auburn because it is actually closer to us than the FW location, and Clint won't have to see any of the "mopes" he's arrested, lol. After dinner Clint took us down this really windy road he found one afternoon with Max. It was freaky to drive on it (well, to have Clint driving really fast on it) in the Cooper. That car can take corners really quickly. I never knew we had roads like that around here-- it was neat. Reminded me of an area in Maryland where my Aunt and  Uncle live. We are looking forward to another trip soon!
