I guess I am a little out of order in my postings, but I wanted tell you guys about all the fun things were were able to do this summer.
In April, we bought a new van through Elijah's work resale program. It was an agents vehicle, and whenever they upgrade to a new vehicle, they put them up for sale. This is the 2nd vehicle we have bought through this program. The prices are usually about half of Blue Book.
We have been wanting a van since our Ford Focus was busting at the seams when Noah was born. We found one we liked in New Jersey. We thought it would be a good excuse to visit our family up East. We stayed with my aunt Vicki and cousin Lisa and her family in Philadelphia and then drove down to West Virginia to visit my mom.
The kids had such a great time. While in Philadelphia my Aunt took us downtown and we rode the ducks in the Delaware River. It was so great!! We spent Easter morning at Lisa's house, then we drove down to West Virginia. That was the first test the kids had to pass in order to drive all the way back home to Texas a few days later. If they didn't pass, we were dropping them off at the Liberty Bell. We drove through Harrisburg and then down to Charleston. We took the kids to Hershey Park. It was so much fun!! I think Elijah and I had more fun then the kids. We finally made it to my moms house Sunday evening and we spent the whole week with her. It was so nice to spend time with her and she loved having the kids around.
We made our journey back to Texas by the following Sunday night by driving half way across the country with the kids and a brand spankin new van. (New to us at least) The boys did great!! Jacob had his DVD player, and Noah slept and just hung out the whole time. It made us want to do it all again. Noooooo....do you think we are that crazy?
