Day 154: Let's offroad!

The red-wagon, an American classic. On Memorial Day, about half the families we saw arriving on foot were pulling one of these with either children or with the paraphernalia of a serious parade-watching expedition in it. So, we are now (since Exile #4's birthday) a one-wagon family. Exile #2 chose the model - the steel all-terrain version, over various wood and plastic models. A great choice. It's a sturdy piece of kit in the mould of the 'unbreakable' Tonka truck of my youth - only on a much bigger scale.

Today we edged towards completing our large-purchases. As long as they can get hold of one quickly I have agreed a price on a car and we have a date for 'closing' on our house next week.

Life is full, but we are, in general, doing fine.
