Deposit put on the van!/VGo in action!

It's official!  Gene put a deposit on the van we've been looking at (via photos only).  I really, really feel like this is the one for us.  It's going to take some getting used to but I know it will fit our needs.  It's a 2009 Ford E-350 XL with a rear lift and tie down spots for 3 chairs!  It has fold down seats and benches, so we put them up and down as needed.  One of my concerns is where we'll put everything...we're used to having room behind the bench seat in our current van and we won't have that now.  And, we'll have to get a TV and some lights to make it homey for the boys.  We are all so excited we want it now!  Can't wait to take our first drive with the boys!  It will be so cool to be able to take both boys in the van so easily--AND Casey will be able to take his power chair--FINALLY!

Here it is:

This morning Priscilla and Colin practiced driving the VGo around the house.  Tomorrow will be the day it goes to school.  They had fun practicing and driving and exploring the things they can do with it.  Highlight of their exploration:   They drove Wall-e into the living room and freaked out Gene!  It was so quiet (and they had the VGo side muted) that he didn't know it was coming!  I was upstairs and heard him yell out, lol!  Colin was thrilled!!

At the end of the day Priscilla told Colin she had to bring him to school and Colin cried--the fake kind of cry--but he went on and on.  I think he thought that the robot was going to be staying here!
