What a big day we had! First we went to Pecks to purchase another tree. This has become a yearly tradition. This year we bought a Linden tree. We planted it in our backyard. Later this afternoon we drove to Marengo where we picked up our long awaited Ford Escape Hybrid vehicle. We ordered our hybrid in May and it finally arrived. How GREEN can you get in one day? Plant a tree and buy a hybrid! We ended the evening at the cabin where we celebrated Grandma Sue's 52nd birthday. We were all pooped by the time we got home. But, still had enough energy to take a ride around the block in our new hybrid. I think Bo really enjoyed his first ride on Mama's lap in the front seat.
