Be prepared to judge our blatant un-safeness. Growing up, Idaho was always the place where I perceived driving laws as more of suggestions. I think the first time I drove I was 14 on the loooong, straight highway on the way to Salmon after the turn off near Mud Lake. Maybe I was 15, but I don't think so.
On this trip we taught Rachel the fun and freedom of not abiding by the laws. But it's only okay in Idaho (especially on the ranch). :) Her first taste of underage driving:
Riding in the back of the car free from the confines of a car seat. What fun! (Note, when we went out on the highways she still was in her car seat--it was just driving short distances on the back roads that she got this special treat.)
All the kids living it up loving the lap more than the buckles:
(Good thing they got a break-after 2, then 3 more hours driving to get to Salmon Annie was NOT happy with her car seat)
Of course, Mom had to get a picture of all of us and how unsafe we were. As if what she was doing was safe in a moving car. :)
Rachel and Jared also got to play in the tractor.
Rachel wasn't too happy about the sun being right in her face, but was content to sit and enjoy the view while Jared worked the controls. He did NOT want to get out of that tractor.
Lucky for him Uncle Boyd was very accommodating and let him drive the tractor himself. It was amusing to see the tractor weaving slowly back and forth as Jared steered all over. Hopefully all this driving/law breaking experience doesn't lead to joy-riding hoodlums in a few years. :)
