When I was a kid pretty much every Sunday afternoon my family would head out on Sunday drives. The drives usually started with us going to ED's and getting a Sippie Hoda ( cream soda or grape for me!) and picking a direction to drive. Sometimes we had somewhere to go, like to look at the Pippylongstocking house, to look at the new houses being built on the golf course, or on the back road to Woodruff.But most of the time we just drove with no destination in mind. On these drives we learned to drive stick ,parallel park, and how to drive with our sisters screaming that they are going to die because you are a scary driver ( I think this talent will come in handy when I have screaming children in the back seat.)
One drive that sticks in my mind is the morning after my dad got his jeep we woke us up in the morning and told us to get in the jeep and we were going for a ride! Lucky us it had rained that night we went mud bogging before church but...we got stuck. But that was a Sunday ride I will never forget.
Today I wish I was at home going on a Sunday drive with my family

ahh sunday drives are always the best. we miss family too, i hope we can get together again when we get into town!
Hmm..how come I don't remember going mud bogging before church? I think you are mistaken, we would never do such a thing!
Man it's been a long time since we went on a Sunday drive- maybe we will go next week. After church of course :)
p.s. lets definitely put that on our list of things to do in Hawaii-- a Sunday drive !
Aw cute. I'm so glad to hear your ma would let you break the sabbath by buying something sippy on Sunday. We used to take our kids to get Matsumoto shave ice every Sunday. Before they understood about the commandments.
Yesterday on our Sunday drive I made my hub stop at Walmart so I could get some glue sticks for my daughter so she could scrapbook during conference. My kids were appalled. That's breaking the sabbath! they yelled. But I went through self check out so it doesn't count.
;)
your verifier says torears. hee hee
Let's all raise a glass: Here, here! To rears!
hahaha at crash! Just so you know, a hippie pop or sippy hoda (?) was from a machine so technically there was no sabbath breaking. Kind of like the self check-out!
