James' 1st truck!

I love Craigslist! One person's junk/clutter is another person's treasure! James is so happy to be the new owner of a used Jeep that only had about 6 hours on it....as slow as it goes, that probably translates to 12 miles! :)

He loves anything VEHICLE! Trucks, cars, airplanes, boats...he loves it all! So, I decided that I would take a look at some of the ride in trucks for him. I found out very quickly that they are VERY expensive! When that happens, my next step is to hit Craigslist. And the day I searched for a Jeep, is the day there happened to be one in Navarre Beach for $100...just waiting for my truck loving boy to come get.

It was going to be a week before we could head over that way...so I called the owner and he was SO nice to hold it for me. Jason and I brought a sheet with us, so we could hide it from the boys. James fell asleep in the van on the way...PERFECT! But woke JUST as we pulled into the driveway. Good thing we brought the sheet, because we just backed the car up to the garage and were able to sneak it into the back without either boy knowing.

We were supposed to wait until James' birthday (July 2) to give it to him...but we were just too excited and decided it would be an early gift!







I'm glad we made that decision...because he and Jack have had hours of fun already. It's adorable to see them pretend play. James typically is the driver, and Jack is anything from a truck mechanic to a fastfood drive thru worker.




Even Jason couldn't resist the fastfood drive thru pretend play with what he calls his "goofy hat!"
