We all fit in our 15 passenger van until earlier this year, when we took on another foster child--an infant. Now we are 16! (At home, we have kids away at college, too)

Too tell the truth, there are not all that many times when we all hop in the van for a ride. Who wants to go shopping with 14 kids? Food shopping is done when I can take a couple of teens with me for the heavy hauling. Socks and underwear shopping is done by dad with a couple of kids at a time. They stop for pizza or chili dogs and make an event of it.

Thank goodness we have mass transit, or we'd be buying a used school bus.

We had to go to two cars several years ago when our 15 passenger van became too expensive to run in Wyoming. Everything here is such a long distance, and we found that Church on Sunday was the only place we were going together anyway. Can't commute 60 miles each way in a 15 passenger van!
