Yes mam. The Original Bug, model 200-3, turned eight years old if you can believe it.
In Mormon culture eight years old is the Macy’s Day parade of birthdays.
Big deal in these parts ‘cause you get to get baptized.
Grandparents came to support the event, but only the G.Ma’s are pictured.
G.Pa’s were hiding in the foy-ay.
Friends made yummy food for afterwards. (Refreshments are WAY better if they aren’t contaminated with my last minute stress.)
Everyone braced themselves against the cold and tried to be reverent.
Tried – mostly people kept talking so jaws wouldn’t freeze shut.
And golly she’s a sweet kid.
