It was a great day all around, spent with family and friends. The highlight however, according to Levi was our encounter with law enforcement. The story goes....
We were getting ready to have the families up for dessert and realized we didn't have enough fruit for fruit salad, so we decided to run to the store. Now that we have the scooter we try to use the van as little as possible. Levi wanted to go pick out his own fruit so we thought maybe a good birthday privilege was a ride on the scooter.
We found a suitable helmet and Levi and I headed to the store. Part way there, we hear the oh-so-comforting sound of a siren and pull over. Of course, I am panicking thinking, "Was I speeding? Did I miss a stop sign? And in front of my son! Good job Mom!" He asks for my license and registration, very politely. As I hand it over I ask, "Was I going to fast officer?" His reply was, " Well, you just seemed little and so.......I thought since I pulled you over anyway, I should check you license just in case."
At least he had the good sense to look a little sheepish and Levi was just so interested in the whole event I don't think he noticed that the nice police man was actually pulling us over because he thought we were children out for a joyride.
Happy Birthday Levi!

So he wasn't checking to see if you were licensed to drive a scooter, but if you were old enough to have a license?
that is too funny! just wait til you start shrinking! you do have a few years to go for that!
That's funnier than the time Mom got carded at a bar in Spokane...since this is a family blog, I won't tell you what she said to the bouncer!
