A Ride in Ole' Blue

We went on a grand adventure Saturday... all the way to Bluffdale to have my big bro check the emmisions on OP's "new" car. This may not sound like a big deal to most of you, but I did leave out the part where we all squeezed into a 1989 Subaru Legacy (coincidentally, this same make & model was my very first car when I was 16- it was totaled) that sounds like it is going to take flight when you go over 50 mph. Seriously. We barely fit all the carseats in, and the poor girls were being terrorized by their baby brother the entire time.

I didn't realize how spoiled I was- the fact that I had to turn around and unlock the car door manually really threw me, and having to crank the window down, and there was no tint. None. Well, let's just say that I just wanted back inside my cosy Envoy.

I had a pretty dim outlook on the whole thing, or at least I did till we stopped to fill Ole' Blue up. $25 filled up the entire tank. $25!! It got 29.63 miles per gallon- my Envoy gets around 16-17 mpg!

Well, we girls dropped the boys off at home so we could go out and have a little fun of our own. When Orrin got out he asked if he should switch around the carseats. I looked at him like he was crazy. "Why the heck would I want you to do that?" I asked him. The less money I spend on gas, the more I can spend at Target!

Oh, and this is for you Whit:

Porter has started dancing to music, any music when it comes on. The boy can groove! Unfortunately, the little bum hides from my camera, so as soon as he sees it come out, he stops. But, at least I caught a couple of seconds!
