Packed for the Lake

You have to appreciate the versatility built into our Dodge minivan. Those designers must have had kids too. When we first began talking about all the baby things we wanted to take with us to the Grand Roe’s Lake of the Ozarks cabin, I was sure we’d have to pull a trailer to take it all. Our list included a large double stroller, large play-yard, play-mats, four playpens, two high chairs, two baby lawn chairs, two tree swings, a big bag of toys and all our clothes for a week. I never thought we could pack it all into our van, but Mommy was determined to fit it all in. We removed the third row bench seat, and Sandy utilized every inch to take everything we needed for a great vacation. In fact, it was packed so tightly that it exploded when we arrived.
