When child number 3 was due, we knew it was time to bite the bullet and get a van. We joked about getting flames on it and 6 year old overheard. She talked about it at school and another kid said her dad could do it.  The shop was dying to do it and gave us a great price - next thing we knew - FLAMES!

We always say it's not a roadtrip until someone takes a picture - it happens alot.  My dad drove a truck and there must be something in the genes because we drive everywhere.  If you see us out there - snap a picture and post it. 

The FlameVan makes a nice background for this picture of a bug.
