We didn't intend this morning to get up and buy a new truck, but that's what ended up happening.
Darin has been looking to trade in his small truck and our Tahoe for a big truck to pull our trailer. Eventually we want to go to a truck/camper/boat combo for camping. This is step 1.
Darin found a 2008 Ford 1 ton short bed with only 9k miles in Kent for a great price, so he decided to go down and look at it. It was a nice truck, so I brought the Tahoe down with the kids (after trying both our babysitters to see if they could come over at the last minute - no luck).
While I was coming down, Darin was looking around the lot and found a couple of 2010 3/4 ton long beds for just 4k more, soooooo when I got there we compared the used to the new and of course the new won out! :-)
While Darin did all the haggling and paperwork, I took the kids to Kent Station and we had Coldstone ice cream and ran around and then had some impromptu time at the sprinkler park.
(I bought Elissa some clothes at the thrift store so she would have some dry clothes)
The we came back to turn in the small truck and pick up our new truck.
They are getting Darin's truck all cleaned up and shiny!
Look at all the room the kids have. Love it!
It was a l-o-n-g day, but so worth it for Darin to get his new ride!
