New Car Smell

About a month ago on a trip to Morro Bay our 1997 Astro van's fuel pump went out. To get it back up and running would cost just a little less than what the van was worth so we decided to just sell it and get something new. We have been saving for a few years as we knew this day would be coming, but it is always scary taking such a huge part of your savings out of the bank. We were very fortunate to have family close that let us borrow a vehicle while we looked. It allowed us to wait for just the right car at the right price.


We bought a 2007 V6 Ford Fusion SE as a certified pre-owned vehicle. It is a great car and best of all James fits nicely into it. James took it up to Lake Arrowhead for a City of Hope retreat and it got a little dusty, so we took the chance tonight to show the kids how to wash a car. They loved it!

I am thinking that Ethan is going to want to wash the car everyday. He loved splashing and throwing bubbles all over the place.

Here is Megan with the kids and a clean car.

The kids were very proud of all the "hard" work they put into getting the car all cleaned up.

Here is a quick clip of the kids working on getting the car and themselves all wet. Note that Ethan tries to take a bite out of the pot. Crazy kid!
