new wheels

Since we are going to be here for a while and I am going back to school we went ahead and bought some new wheels. It is not what you would expect though. We bought two motor scooters for little over wholesale. We have been looking at cars but for the small amount we wanted to spend we were finding ones that were questionable as far as reliability and the last thing we can do is wrenching on an old car. These come with a great waranty as well, so this takes the pressure off. Katie is almost 16 and here in the good ole state of CA. she will be able to ride around on one of these as well. We think they are so much fun. Granted Neil is unable to ride for very long, but with Katie getting her learners permit, she can put Stew on the back of hers and I put Neil on the back of mine. (yep the girls are in charge now, haha). These are not your grandma's scooters, they are only little 150's but they do have a lot of zip and fully loaded with two on board and some extra gear, we can still rap them up to about 70 mph, not to mention the fact that they get about 70 mpg. This is going to be a tremendous relief beings that gasoline is averaging well over $4.50 per gallon. The good thing is that even if we only stay for a while they have a high resale value, although Neil is still deciding whether or not he can strap them to the bow! I would like to see that! haha. Above is a picture of the one we have now. The other is on order. One is blue and one is silver. The kid's at first were unsure but after I carted them around for a day or two, they are all into it! It will be lots of fun this summer for sure. Tomorrow I hope to give you all an update on Neil. Thank you for all your prayers and continued support. Keep em comin!
