Gotta Floor It

I've said this before, but I fear I'm raising a future Nascar driver.

After Trace got his plasma car for Christmas last year, I realized for the first time his need for speed and complete "no fear" attitude. Now, his favorite thing to do at Granddaddy and Sisty's is ride the jeep on the vacant lot beside their house.

Granddaddy mowed a trail through the field on his John Deere and he runs it like it's an obstacle course... around the trees, up and down the hills, through the bushes, dodging anything in his path (you may notice the terrified dogs in the background).

He's even learned (without us actually showing him) how to gear up to make it go faster. Oh boy! For our own sanity, Granddaddy walks behind him holding the rope, just in case he tries to go rogue on us.
