Driver's Ed

As Landon has an early birthday (in September) he was eligible to take driver's ed during the summer. Now, we aren't really in a rush for him to get his licence, but the thought of getting it done, keeping him busy during June, and opening up a spot for an additional class in the fall was appealing. I wasn't sure if it would work out, with the scout camp in mid-June ... but it was like it was meant to be. The driver's ed class was the first week in June, then there was a week off (this was the week Landon would be gone), then class would start up again the following week. The class was three hours a day (12:00-3:00 the first week, then 10:00-1:00 the second week). The driving on the course and road was to be handled after hours. Now Landon hasn't had much experience behind the wheel of a car, so he was a little nervous. As there wasn't enough time to fit everyone in, Landon has postponed his "driving" portions until later, after the Fall school year starts. Hopefully we can get a little practice in before then. We did go to the DMV and got his learner's permit. I can't believe he'll be 16 years old so soon!

  1. I can't believe Landon is learning to drive, I remember that kid in diapers. My sister in law is starting to study her drivers manual. Makes you wonder where the time goes.
