A full van


Yes, we fit 5 children, 2 adults, and 2 strollers in our van. Guess it's a good thing we got the van :) Luckily, Keegan is old enough to ride in a booster seat--not sure we could actually have fit 5 car seats in the van.

Gavin is such a happy little boy--most of the time anyway. Just don't change his clothes.

Keegan thought he was pretty big to be the only one using an adult seat belt.

Emerald, the princess among all those boys.
Calvin showing off his cheesy grin. He was excited to have someone riding with him in the back. Since Zachary joined us in the van, Calvin has been a big boy riding in the far back all by himself.
Zachary, as usual, was a good boy in the car. He spends most car trips like this--asleep.

And to think that when we were kids we didn't even ride in car seats. It is not an easy challenge trying to fit 5 children age 5 (well, he's almost 5, in 2 weeks) and under into a vehicle. Those darn car seats take up much more room than their tiny little bums. We only had a few issues with the "my space/your space" concept. Keegan was trying to train my kids that they should keep their hands to themselves. I wish we'd gotten a picture of them all when all 5 were asleep in the van--too sweet.
