I got a ride with my brother/sister-in-law to Grants Pass when they were on their trip to Red Bluff. It was a short visit but I had fun. Saturday morning we went to garage sales and the kids were given a budget of 4 things. Elijah picked this truck first. Rather than play in the dirt with it, he liked to ride it down the slope in his driveway. He had a few crashes but just kept doing it over and over again. I think we paid $3 for it.
This scooter that Brielle has came from Craigslist in Vancouver. It is like new and I was able to get it for $15. Since they sell for $50 now, that was a great deal. Brielle and Adalei both had a fun time riding it.
Adalei had a great time playing games on my i-phone. I was amazed at her math skills. She learned a lot in kindergarten. I enjoyed watching her play the various games. She is holding a pink poodle that we got at a garage sale for a quarter.
Elijah's Hot Wheels scooter was another good find on Craigslist in Grants Pass. It cost me $10 and it was well worth it because he loves to ride it.
Adalei picked an Easy Bake Oven for one of her purchases. It was $3 and works great. The picture above shows her getting ready to eat the puffy pancake she made in her Easy Bake Oven. She also warmed cold pizza and made a melted cheese sandwich. She was having a great time with it. I was impressed that her parents took the time to help her use it right away. She was so excited.
My final picture is of Brielle with one of her purchases. I think this doll was a quarter too. It didn't cost much but the kids really had fun going to garage sales.
I have to thank Jenna for giving me the idea to get scooters for Adalei, Brielle, and Elijah. Jenna pointed out how much fun they were having with Weston's and Benson's scooters at our family reunion. I'm so glad we found them used on Craigslist. Thanks Jenna!
