Lexie's Final Driving Test

Our Lexie is learning how to drive (has been for the past year...yes...we are mean parents). As her final driving test, Karl went with her on a "little" road trip. To Big Bend. :) Lexie drove about 90% of the time. They had a good time and Lexie got lots of driving practice. We are pretty sure she can get her license now. :)


Here are some pics from their trip:


The driver.
The very afraid passenger and driving instructor. :) ha ha!
Who was also the navigator. :)
Learning how to drive AND take great photos. Come on people...you know this is important stuff she's learning! Cool shot huh?

Stopping for some BBQ? Maybe not...


A break from driving....a little river rafting down the Rio Grande!



The end of one of their hiking trails. So pretty! And refreshing!


Walking back from the waterfall. Big Bend is such a beautiful place! Every time we are there, there are always Europeans! This time, they met some Italians.
Looks like a yummy place to eat. Right?

The drive back home. Driving grade: A+
(And Lex wants me to add that her dad MADE her wear those ugly glasses. Again. We are such mean parents!)

Looks like it was a wonderful father/daughter day! I treasure memories like that with my own dad ~ not the driving instructor part so much ~ but I sure did enjoy some of our kayaking and nature hike time!

Okay, the pictures of Karl MADE this post. He cracks me up! What a fun dad/daughter bonding trip! Looks like they had a great time!

GREAT photos! ...though I really like the story that the 2nd one and the last one tell! LOL!! :)

I'm sure Lexie will be a GREAT driver! Breanna isn't far behind... permit next spring and DL the year to follow. UGH! ;o) No, I trust she will do fine when the time comes, too!!

God bless!! <><

I absolutely love karl's expression in the pictures! What a great idea...a final driving test and waiting a year before allowing her to get her license. Josh just got his learner's permit...hmmmm.
