Okay.

We did it, traded in our big truck for a much more family friendly mini-van. Why, you ask?

Well, it’s near to impossible to get the kid & her car seat in the truck, without throwing out my back. We also go on road trips, quite frequently. I’ve been able to do seat gymnastics, managing to climb over the front seat into the backseat of the cab to entertain the screaming baby while Colton drives, but I don’t think that’s legal! I would much rather, walk to the back seat to entertain the child! Did I mention, it has a DVD player, not sure we’ll actually use it but (We did! The last hour of our drive home from the Great Grandparents after Christmas, it made the ride oh-so-much-more-fun, watching ELF!), it could IS SO nice!

Growing up I loved my grandma’s mini-van, so it’s not like it’s a foreign idea…. but, it still holds a little stigma (like, only soccer mom’s and suburban house wives drive minivan’s).

Maybe we can change that!
