I grew up in a small farming community where it is not uncommon to see tractors and Amish buggies. When we lived in Franklin, TN there was a sweet little trolley you could ride. And while living in Granville, OH they gave horse drawn carriage rides down Main St. Now I live in the suburbs, surrounded mostly by SUV's and mini vans full of soccer moms and kids. :)
When the weather is warm, walking is our preferred method of transportation..
With two hungry growing boys, I seem to spend a lot of time pushing grocery carts around..
This is an interesting vehicle we saw at the skate park last weekend..
The playground offers many vehicle options for the kids, including..
For the most part, the boys and I spend our days driving from place to place in our sweet little VW Passat, which could really use a good cleaning on the inside.
My husband takes our other car (not pictured), a Ford Taurus to work and back each day. Both have been trusty and dependable vehicles!
If I could choose any car to own, it would be a Landrover. There's a dealership close by and you can test drive one over a man-made rocky hill in the parking lot! Ha, I think I might do it once just for the fun of it. :)
I look forward to seeing and reading about how the rest of you get around! Our internet has been really slooooow lately, so it might take me awhile to visit you all, but I'll get there eventually! :)
Lovely pics of the boys. I would have loved growing up with horse carriage rides. Very groovy.
ReplyDeleteA passat is quite eco-friendly considering what mnay drive these days (SUVs as you say).
Great Corner View! Again, love the lion! :) Makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteI adore the lion- he is so cute! Great and fun post.
ReplyDeleteFun! I love all of the transportation theme stuff at the parks. :)
ReplyDeleteare you still in tennessee? my friend ashley lives there (and i know it's somewhere near franklin) - i love it there - so many great parks! i used to drive there from tupelo mississippi via the natchez trace pkwy!
ReplyDeleteI love the shopping cart! Very cute. Thanks for sharing such a cool corner view.
ReplyDeleteOkay. Y'all totally have the coolest parks! Ours are so dinky in comparison!!
ReplyDeleteOh, you totally have to go over the hill at the Landrover dealership! At ours, we literally were sideways, ok, maybe not 100% sideways but enough for me to freak out. Love those vehicles! Some day...
ReplyDeleteDarling shots of your little guys! I'm anxious to hear about your homeschooling adventure. We keep tossing up the idea.
Oh, by the way... my dream is to seriously move into an Anthropologie store too... it is not the best... EVER!!
Haha I love the shopping card mode of transportation. That was clever :) And I love that he is wearing the Lion head again. So cute
ReplyDeleteCart! I can't seem to type tonight. lol
ReplyDeleteHey Erin! These are so fun. I also love the shopping cart shot. Thanks for these!
ReplyDeleteLove the lion suit and the pictures of your kids at play. My car is a VW too, although the little Golf model and stations wagons are considered more "in" here than the Jetta or Passat. (although I prefer the last two) Great idea for this post.
ReplyDeleteI love the second photo!
ReplyDeleteit makes me laugh!
love the pics! amen to a lot of time pushing around a cart! and my dream transportation (not daily of course) would be an old fashioned train ride... like in an old movie, with a sleeping car and the whole shebang!
ReplyDeleteHahaha...now I understand you comment on my Corner view. The Landroverrrrr!! Thanks for sharing some of your childhood memories and the nice pictures. X, Carmie.
