It's a MINIVAN!!!!!


The day after Christmas we all met up at the local Kia dealer to look at their model of van. I don't think it's called a minivan anymore, just a van. J has been driving the boys around in a two door VW Cabrio. It's pitiful to watch her load up the baby by rolling down the window, sliding him in to the seat, then climbing in to do the buckles, and then rolling the window back up. Al the while E is climbing over the seats to get to the driver's seat, pretend he's driving, pushing buttons, etc.
Everyone had done tons of research on the internet and talking to people. They narrowed it down to Kia, Toyota, and Honda. We were there for moral support, financial experience, and babysitting duty. The Kia was not impressive so we were off to Toyota. This was a hit, but we went to Honda too.
They decided on the Toyota so the negotiations were on. Dave took over and before we knew it a van had been purchased. I'm making it sound quick.....it wasn't.....it took ALL DAY.
E has the automatic doors all figured out and T no longer screams and wails.....and they're way safer than they were in that little Cabrio. We're all very pleased with the new addition.
