what a crazy christmas vacation. we went to visit poppops and MA in new york. had a scare with the dogs and stairs. loved the wagon. 80’s rocker billy sheehan made you cry with his elephant sounds. drove by mom’s childhood home. played at a mcdonald’s indoor playground. when we got back to florida we rested for a few days and then went to visit grammie and gramps in ocala. ate too much chocolate. loved the truck. played ball with the cousins. lots of rides in the golf cart.
