Monkey's New Ride

Monkey recently saw a boy in our neighbourhood riding a really cool scooter. Monkey had wanted a Razor motorized scooter, however both the price tag and safety issues were beyond our collective limits. This new scooter however wasn't motorized and did look really cool.
Monkey wanted to know where it was from, so he asked the boy.
"The United States" was the reply.
Monkey was excited and mommy was on the case.
In a flash mommy was not only able to find the scooter, but get one at a great price and have it sent to the closest available place to go and get it.
Within a week (I think) it had arrived, mommy had arranged to take the afternoon off and they were on their way to get it.
Monkey took a substantial part of his saved allowance and paid for the whole sha-bang.
He was so excited that he asked all morning "Is mommy home yet? Is mommy home yet? Is mommy home yet?" (I held back my favourite line from the Smurf's "Not much further now")
Here they are at the UPS store picking it up.

Here's daddy and Monkey putting it together as soon as supper was over:




and here's Monkey taking it for a test drive in the basement:

Here they are on the maiden voyage with our guest Espana taking it in:
