back online– yay!
810Check this picture out. Me, mom, and the four kids all in the back of one of the taxis. Awesome!!! I’m pretty sure we’ll have a few meltdowns over the booster seats awaiting them in the minivan. 🙂 We figure that while we’re here the kids are pretty safe because we are packed in so tight–no… Continue reading back online– yay!
