During Craft Lockdown 2009, Neil decided to take a trip up to Seattle, to see his Grandma & Grandpa Schneringer. His cousin, Kate, was also visiting, so he DROPPED IN on the fun!

He arrived safe and sound, and enjoyed finding new ways to get around.

Boating was a good one, but they wouldn't let him drive it. So Neil & Kate just enjoyed the ride.



He is, after all, an experienced, LICENSED driver.


So some driving was in order.

After a go-kart race with Grandpa Paul, he was ready for a real drive. He took the Mini Cooper AND the Porshe for a spin.

He even figured out how to get to the donut shop.

Then he was ready for the big time. Flight school seemed easy.


Kate made an excellent air-traffic controller.



"See, Kate, it's not so hard."

Word got out, of Neil's studliness, and he even gained a darling fan, Charlie. She drives, too!



What a fun week!
