Blowout

The trip home from GCF wasn't quite as uneventful as I would've liked. One of the rear tires on the motorhome blew out before we got to Ellensburg. We got to spend two hours in the motorhome barely on the side of the road, and feel the shaking of the vehicle every time anything else drove by. Sucked. But....

...thankfully, we had AAA and someone to call to help.

...thankfully, David didn't lose control of the motorhome when the tire popped.

...thankfully, we weren't far from Oma and Opa's house, so they could come get us and take us back to their house.

...thankfully, the battery on the Escalade was fully charged so Oma and Opa could come get us:)

...thankfully, we were over the Vantage hill and not coming down the freeway toward the river.

...thankfully, we had plenty of water in the refrigerator and snacks for the kids to eat.

...thankfully it wasn't 95 degrees

...thankfully, we had air conditioning

...and thankfully, we had a fully charged battery to use lights

...thankfully, neither of us had to be at work on Monday morning.

...thankfully, I'd done laundry Friday, so I didn't spend the entire time going over lists of what needed to be done when I finally got home.

...thankfully, so many things that could've gone wrong didn't happen and we all got home safely a day later than planned.
