Engineers at Work!

The large box arrived in the third week of March with the following message inside:

Dear Josie,
Happy Belated Birthday! Your Dad has a college degree in mechanical engineering, so don't worry about all the parts that are left over when he's done assembling this trike!
Love, Uncle Ken, Aunt Agnes, Alex & Brandon

Alright! Another "Some Assembly Required" birthday!! Daddy loves these kind of presents !! Especially when they contain mocking notes from his (youngest!) brother!! Just to demonstrate how much Daddy loves putting stuff together, he made darling Josephine wait a month for her present. Bad Daddy! But, Josie takes her revenge - She decides to HELP Daddy put her trike together! This is how it went:

Step One: Empty Contents of the Box onto the driveway.


Step Two: Begin Assembly


Step Three: Read Directions. (Oooppss!)


Steps Four, Five and Six: When you get bored with assembly, supervise your Dad, make "hats for fingers" with the wheel cap bolts and play with the box it came in (in that order!)


Step Seven: Take your new trike for test drive before it's actually assembled.


Step Eight: Once it IS actually completed, Make Dad push you around on it for a good half hour to make sure it works!


ASSEMBLY COMPLETE! Thanks Uncle Ken, Aunt Agnes, Alex & Brandon!!
