The 'good-ole' days...

One of my fondest memories as a kid was when we had this light blue, vintage Volkswagon Bug.

I thought it the cutest car on the planet...

For a time, it was our only mode of transportation.

For all 10 of us.

Yes ..

you read that right.

I was about 12 years old and my youngest (twin) sisters were just born.

We would travel with my parents in the front,

the three of us big sisters on the main seat, each holding a sister.

My two brothers would cram into the back cubby.

And we'd travel the 30-40 minutes to church like that.

That was mostly the time I remember all of us in the car.... on the way to church.

When we'd get to the church, we'd all climb out like a clown car...

Of course, those were the days before seatbelts and carseats.

I dreamed that I would grow up and have a vintage VW bug...
and still think about it on occasion.
Course, I gotta get through raising kids first.
