We took the Coopers out for a spin this morning. The box says top speed of 2.5 mph but I think that is only achievable when empty or when Thelma and Louise-ing them into the Grand Canyon. The real speed is about 1.5 mph which is the speed achieved by retirees in shopping malls. My son wanted the radio on and immediately started bopping his head up and down to the beat. My daughter gave him lots of instructions along the way. The handled the cars well and the sight of my kids in their cars cruising the sidewalks of Burbank was very funny

We returned home to find Homer passed out on our lawn, presumably from too much partying yesterday.

My boy and I, wearing our matching hats and t shirts took the Cooper for a spin at the public library. Not inside mind you. Today is a public holiday. But outside the library is a maze of sidewalks which at the end is the entrance to the park my son likes to play in. My two year old drove up to the entrance to the play park and said,"parking space"
