Cars

Nearly every time we leave the house, the boys are on the lookout for "fancy" cars. They keep count of how many Audis, BMWs, Mercedes', Mustangs, etc. that they see.  They know nearly all the symbols for all the cars, and can tell what they are from a distance.

There is a certain highway that we take when we cross the city that has many car dealers, and some that are very high end. The boys just LOVE to look in the stores as we pass to see what kind of cars they can spot.

We decided that it would be fun to take the guys into to one of those stores sometime, and we decided that Josiah's birthday weekend would be a good occasion. We didn't tell them where we were going, but they were already looking for the cars. And when we pulled into the parking lot of a particular store where the boys had spotted several imported fancy cars, they were so excited!

We weren't really sure what kind of reception we would get. Obviously a family of five wasn't really seriously shopping for that kind of vehicle! A salesman greeted us at the door, and Jeremy told him that the kids just wanted to look, and he was so kind to us. He told us to "make ourselves at home" and look at whatever we wanted. It's amazing what you can get away with when you have three cute little boys with you! There was a Hummer, several BMW's, a Cadillac SUV, a Mini Cooper, two Mustangs, a Porsche and several others. But there in the middle of the store was a shiny red Ferrari! The boys looked and oohed and aahed. They had a great time, and I'm glad we got to make a memory with them.

Jeremy talked with the salesman while the boys and I looked around. He told Jeremy that the price of this Ferrari was R$1,200,000, which is $750,000! It is a 2009 with only 700 kilometers (434 miles) on it. Wow! That's an expensive garage decoration!! 

Before we left we asked if we could take a picture in front of the car, and he said we could. He said we could put them up on the motorcycles if we wanted to! He was really great. So here they are...just looking!

The Ferrari was nice, but I have to say that my personal favorite was this Mustang. It's hard to see in the picture, but it had red leather interior. Sweet!

I asked Josiah if he could pick, which car would he pick?  He said, "I'm not sure. We can't all fit in the Ferrari. It only fits two." So I asked what if he was picking just for him. He decided on the Ferrari for him and his wife!  I asked Judson and he said that he would just go in my car with me, since I had already picked the Mustang.  It's fun to be the mom of three boys!
