First Car Ride

Because of their car seats, Trey Davey and Benji have experienced riding in only two vehicles in their lifetime, until now. It is such a hassle to remove and install their car seats that we avoid it. Until yesterday we have only transferred the seats once before. When the boys were born, I owned a Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was a great vehicle, but not as baby friendly as we wished. After a few months we were able to purchase a minivan, which was designed with families in mind. In last night’s driving rain our minivan lost its fan belts and broke down several miles from home. We called Grandpa, who rescued us from the roadside. His spacious back seat not only accommodated our two car seats, but allowed plenty of room for a third. Riding in a car was a new experience which greatly interested our little guys. Today we cruised to church in style in Grandpa’s big Lincoln like a couple of senators, and definitely approve of his car’s ride.
