Got New Wheels!

Not the 15 passenger type wheels. Sorry to get your hopes up. I’m referring to the three passenger type wheels, thanks to all of my face book friends who decided to bless us with cash to get a stroller (or as it turns out strollers.)
In case you’re confused with all our talk of a triple [...]
