NEW (used) CAR!

Well here are some pictures of our new, used mini van! Some of you may know that our Gold Camry bit the dust on my way home from Idaho last Thursday. Died on me in Brigham City where I got to sit at a gas station for 3 hours with the kids, while we waited for dad to get off his plane and come rescue us. Here is a picture of the kids waiting patiently for Daddy to come. (well... they did really good for kids stuck in a gas station for 3 hours) Lucky for us the Gas station had a nice restaurant that they let us claim a corner booth of for a while so we didn't have to stay out on the side walk the whole time. {notice in the picture the 2 car seats and luggage that I had to haul around with me after the tow truck came for the car} Oh and a picture of Braden trying out for the 'Blue Man Group.' I gave them suckers to keep them quite for a while and his got a bit messy!





What a night. Anyway... after getting home at midnight.... we found out the next day that the gold Camry had thrown an engine rod.... yeah... we ain't fixing that! The car isn't worth what a used engine would cost... let alone paying to have it put in! So we decided to do the sensible thing... and buy a MINI VAN! (I know you are jealous Marie!!!) We spent the weekend (excluding Sunday of course) test driving used Toyota Siennas and we found a beauty on Monday morning! 2001 with 83000 miles on it, in fantastic condition! We got the loan (small gratefully) on Tuesday and drove her home that night! It has been really fun to be a 'van mom' and drive around town in it! The kids love it because it has an automatic door. So they fight over who gets to push the button! I have told them it is getting turned off the first time someone gets smashed in it!






So there she is! The beautiful Mini Van that we now own (via the bank)! WOOT! Come on over and I will take you for a spin in my new ride! You know you want to!!!
