Yes, I meant that to be singular. I’m talking about my minivan (no, not the kids). Though, if I think about it, the minivan would be pretty empty without them, wouldn’t it?
Sally was sad not to be in the beach pictures, so I said I’d post this one. The only drawback to a minivan is that you still have to get gas every so often.



I want a van. Mike told me when we got married that we could never own an SUV. I told him, “How do you expect me to be a cool mom if I have to drive a van.?” But there are really nice vans now so I think I can be ok with that. Besides, I’m cool with or without a nice car.

Adam has a car that men drool over. It used to bug me that I was just a “minivan mom.” But, truly, minivans are the way to go! I love mine. With the sliding doors you don’t have your kids opening up their doors and banging other people’s cars, plus they do have awesome options now like POWER sliding doors (I love this!) and a backseat that folds into the floor. Also, you have to be able to easily get into the backseat and with carseats SUV’s just don’t cut it! Yea for minivans!!!

i love mine also because it holds all of my beach stuff and park stuff and life stuff in the back at all times. so i don’t have to pack all that stuff every time i want to go some where. i love the leather seats (although i was just lucky that they were what we got in our used minivan) and the seat heaters (again, just luck) even though i only got to use them a few times this winter.
i thought i would love that it was red, bec. i figured it would be easy to find, but apparently every single other mother thought the same thing.
