 The top 3 lessons he learned:

1. Make sure you tell daddy if you're going to stop on a dime to check out a chipmunk or squirrel so you don't get rear ended.

 2. Yes, it's OK to take a leak there...or pretty much anywhere.

 3. No matter how interesting the things going on behind you seem, keep looking straight ahead. There are trees everywhere.

{Picture backlog from earlier this weekend, but whose's keeping track?}
