Back in BOB

Today a special surprise arrived in the mail for Orin:

a new BOB stroller!

I didn't write about our BOB tragedy last fall

(keeping with the tradition of trying to 

only post about positive things),

but someone competing for the 

"most thoughtless act in the world" trophy

(assuming there is one)

stole our BOB stroller from a trailhead when we were

on a family hike.

All winter long we have missed our BOB,

but because it has been so cold, 

we have been driving more and walking less.

Now that spring is in the air,

we decided that we needed to replace our stolen stroller

so that Orin will have available transportation 

to and from beaches, ponds, and bogs,

and so we will have something to stack 

blankets, coolers, sand buckets, shovels, etc.

in for all the events of summer.

(Honestly, we use the stoller more for this purpose,

Orin mostly likes to run non-stop)

So, just in time for our trip to North Carolina in 2 weeks,

our new BOB arrived.

And now, we are off on our first stroll.
