Watch out drivers - here we come!

We are now the proud owners of a littel travel camper - we know, we know....like you never saw that coming!! After we had done so well leaving the showroom a few days ago, the salesmen kept calling with better and better offers. After they agreed to all of our terms, we decided to take the plunge. We spent the better part of the afternoon at the showroom (good thing, because it was way too hot to do anything else) signing our lives away. The best part (beyond the obvious of getting to always have our babies with us, of course)??? We get to write it off on our taxes as a second domicile - who'da thought that a little camper would be considered a second home. Every little bit helps, though!

We have to get our SUV outfitted with the wiring and tow package first, which will happen later this week. We are slated to pick it up on Friday (watch out anyone on California Freeways that day), but we also need to find a storage space for it because in our city, owners of RV's or any type of recreational vehicles are not allowed to store them at your home or in your driveway. I'd like to say that we'll be heading to the hills next weekend, but it is the labor day holiday, and we're pretty certain that all local areas are booked. Oh well, maybe we can go camp in it at wherever we decide to store it :).

Mom says we can't leave you two unattended for even a second...and dad thinks you were all hopped up on Starbucks! Me? I think its a way comfy ride for Prinnie...and I am a little jealous! We all hope the entire family has many happy adventures in it. Are you going to bring it when you come to visit in November?

Siku - both your mom and dad are exactly right!!! :) Mom and Mommy told me I can't ride in my new Dog House because I have to ride with them in the car because I am the family navigator. :( My mom said she'll call you this week, but I am hoping that they decide to bring it so that you and I can hang out in it after we have had a fun-filled day (and of course while our parents are talking for hours and we are bored with them)!!!
Love,
Prinnie

Oh Lord!!! Every time that I sign in the blog I wonder what will appear and lo and behold, today it is the little camper that you were NOT going to buy. You two are just so much fun, so much fun. Now you have something else that you can repair. Have a blast.
