Andy was taking the kids and the dog for a walk one evening and arrived home with a broken stroller. He snapped the handle clean off of the stroller. This was right after the jogger and the bike trailer/jogger both ended up with flat tires which required new tubes. So, needless to say, I had to go stroller shopping. After much research, we settled on the Joovy Kooper. It doesn't have a tray like I originallly wanted, but she's getting old enough that we can survive without. The best part is Riley actually fits in it so she'll be rolling in this sweet ride for years to come!
After 13 years and 178,800+ miles, it was time to say goodbye to the 4Runner. She was a fantastic car and served us well. She was the first vehicle that I bought on my own...I got her while we lived in Albany, NY and she made the moves to PA, Fl, and now Ut. I did get a little sad this morning when I emptied her out...
But that quickly changed when they gave me the keys to this beauty! Isn't she pretty? I'm so happy to have a new vehicle that doesn't announce itself everywhere we go - the 4Runner had a broken power steering fluid pump and no longer held fluid so it was obnoxiously loud whenever you would turn the wheel. My MDX is loaded and ready to go for the next 13+ years! I am so thankful to have such a wonderful new vehicle. I kept telling Andy that I was fine if he just fixed my old one, but he was having no such thing. He kept telling me it was time to let her go. Riley wanted to ask the dealer what they were going to do with the 4Runner. I told him it was most likely going to Toyota heaven...He laughed and said "Mom, cars don't go to heaven!"
