Milo's New Ride!

If you are friends with my husband on Facebook, you have already seen this car…. but for those of you that missed it…here it is. 

We purchased this a the Sunbury Antique Market this week.  We ended up talking the guy down...and paid like 30% of what he was originally asking!  It's electric....not really running right now, but JR is out in the garage as I type taking it apart so that he can redo it! 

At first we thought Milo was a little small for it, but as soon as she saw it in the back yard she went straight over there and climbed in....and started crying when she had to come inside. 

The guy who sold it to us said its from some museum that used to have these for kids to drive around in at the museum. It was old and rusty so they threw it out.....but I have complete faith that my handy husband will get it working!

I Love it! Milo's great grandfather has an old Model A back in the states and now we have a mini one to match :) JR is all excited about redoing it....of course he wants to change the color and all, but Milo and I both vote that the yellow should stay!....So technically he is out-voted.....which is pretty much the case for all things since I am the interpreter for Milo :)

Poor JR....doesn't stand a chance with us girls. 

So for my folks back in TN, I am coming to visit soon!!!!! yay!!! I am so excited to see everyone, but a few people in particular. My Bestie just had a baby.... so that kinda makes him Milo's new bestie by default :) 

PS If anyone is interested in doing a guest post while I'm gone, let me know! 

Get Lost!

We decided to change it up a bit this weekend and explore. I checked out a few websites and picked a trail to take through Hydon Heath. It looked to be a great day… a little overcast and cool. We were all ready to do our 3.7 mile trek. 

somewhere along the way we took a wrong turn… I shouldn't really admit that I was the navigator. In my defence, the map/description was quite inadequate. Milo had to take over and be our guide. 

MOOOOOO!

JR didn't seem to be enjoying the trails... but I loved getting out and breathing in the fresh air.

Milo didn't really seem to pay attention to the cows, but she loved eating reading the maps....

Milo's Favorite Animal noise is Ba-a-a-a-a-a.... gets her every time

a few stray black sheep mixed in the flock...or herd... or whatever it is that you call sheep. After the sheep, the trek to a awful turn.... well, a wrong turn. this mistake ended up taking us almost 2 miles out of the way....

We stumbled upon this adorable little church. It was locked, but it was a perfect place to stop and refuel..... and have a snack.

The trail we took ended up being about 5.5 miles.... with us wearing Milo in the carrier. We were famished and beat. Milo is starting to get a little heavy for long distances with my current BECO carrier. We are looking to get a framed carrier when we go back to the states for a visit... maybe like this one. I'm hoping to find one on sale or at an outlet. Then we will be good to go!

Milo and JR were so exhausted that they both crashed when we got home....aren't they adorable.
