Wagon Ride

We have a yellow utility wagon--given to us by friends downsizing and moving away--which Chris uses to haul heavy things. This week John discovered how much fun it is to ride in it, so we pulled him in the wagon on our evening walk. In the photo John is sitting there blandly, but he really does adore the wagon and, when Chris tries to stop pulling, John signs MORE.

It's a very heavy wagon, though, so we're thinking of getting a Red Flyer, like this one. Can't you just imagine how cute two Lauer kiddos would be in that wagon? But part of me hesitates to buy a plastic Red Flyer because it just seems wrong and goes against Americana. How fondly I remember growing up with my classic metal Red Flyer wagon, despite how it would burn my thighs after it had been sitting in the sun!
