Neigborhood tour with an unliscensed driver!

Yesterday the phone rang early, and it was Kelli. She asked me to keep Connor...he had not felt well the night before, and didn't feel up to going to play sch00l.

I always try to think up something we can do to make his visit fun...there aren't any neighborhood children to play with, and I hate for him to get bored.

So, I asked his help in taking pictures to create this post. We went on a neighborhood tour on the golf cart. Of course Connor wanted to drive! I agreed as long as he let me keep my hands on the wheel too!

Here he is...ready to go....I rode too...just had to get off to take this pic!

Here is a cute little house facing one of the small lakes. We live in a neighborhood with seven lakes. These neighbors always keep their yard so nice and neat. I love the way the front of the home faces the lake.

Here is a home with a wrap around front porch. It is up for sale, and has been for awhile. Connor and I peeked in the windows...very pretty!


We stopped the golf cart between two of the lakes, and took this picture of the little fish swimming...didn't turn out too well! But there were lots of little fish 4 or 5 inches long near the bank.

Here's a picture of the water rushing over the spillway. We have had so much rain this year. Last year there was not any water flowing over the spillway, and the lakes were down quite a bit.

Here's another house on a small lake. This home probably has the best view of all the homes. It is on one of the small lakes, but looks out over the main lake. They don't have to worry about another home blocking their view since there isn't a lot there.
Here is a fishing pier on the main lake. We didn't see anyone fishing ....guess it was too hot!Here is one of the few vacant lots in the area. The owners are not interested in selling it. It would make a wonderful building lot.Here's one of my favorite houses. I love the sage green porch, garage doors, and dormer windows.Here is a home under construction close by. We will be so glad when they're done. Some times the trucks block the road, and act like they don't want to move when we have to go past!

Here is the back view of the same house. They did quite a bit to the lot to get it ready to build on. I've always loved this covered deck that looks out over the main lake.
We call this home the Barbie Doll House. My walking buddies and I went through it several times while it was under construction. It is a three story floor plan. The house is more 'beachy' than most in the area.
And finally, here we are back home...across from the main lake with a wonderful unobstructed view! I think Connor enjoyed our little outing. I was a little nervous though! I kept telling him to stay on the right side of the road, keep your eyes on the road...and lots of other 'backseat' driving remarks!
Don't know where we'll go next, but I'll have to come up with something else for us to have fun doing.
Thanks for stopping by today, and hope you have a great day :)
