So after a lot of good memories and fun trips, it was time to say farewell to our dear minivan. I never thought I would be excited to own a 12 passenger van, but the day could not have come a moment sooner. We now have personal insight as to why inner cities are so violent. In general there should never be a crowding of space. In fact, there should be a safety law against children being allowed to sit within arm's reach of each other while driving at high speeds. After a two and a half day trip across the country and several weeks of loading six kids on top of each other, the reality of the situation could not be denied. We have outgrown the minivan.
While some might be tempted to pity me for having to drive such a vehicle, don't! I absolutely love it. We actually feel really blessed to have come across this van. It was owned by a family that also had 6 kids, but they had downsized back to a minivan. The best part is that given a choice, this is the exact color I would have chosen. Plus, with the possibility of so many people coming to visit, now we can actually take you places. So, c'mon! (you better believe that I rule the road in this machine. Nobody gets in the way!)
