Weekend Away (the good and the bad)

On Friday morning, we drove to Lincoln to spend the day with Dustin and Julie.  That afternoon we played outside in the baby pool.  It was Josiah's first time swimming.  The kids had fun together in the tiny pool.

On Saturday, we had plans to go to the first College World Series game with my brothers and sister-in-law.  On our way to pick them all up, we got in our first car accident.  We were sitting at a stop sign waiting to turn onto 48th street.  There was a lot of traffic.  On the left, there was a man coming with his turning signal on.  There was no one on the right, so Zach went.  The man with his signal on didn't turn and instead hit our car at the driver's side front tire.  The damage didn't look terrible, but the wheel was crooked, so it was not drivable.  Zach ended up getting a ticket for Failure to Yield.   The accident was frustrating, but we are thankful that it wasn't more serious.  
On top of that, while we waited for our car to be towed away, I dropped my phone and cracked up the front screen.  It was a lovely 10 minutes :)

We decided to go to the baseball game anyway to get our minds off the wreck.  The game was a lot of fun.  It was a good game to attend.  The game was decided with the last hit that was close to going over the fence but was caught instead.  




After the game, we went back to Dustin and Julie's.  Julie's parents were in town for Father's Day, so we all went out to eat.  Then, thankfully, they brought us back to Grand Island.

Our car has already been in the shop for a week, and because of insurance, they haven't started working on it yet.  The guy thought it would take at least two weeks to do once they start.  It's a good thing it's summer and we can share one car easily :)

  1. Oh no...your poor car has been through it all. I saw Zach in class this last week I could have picked him up so you'd have a car. Hope it all gets fixed soon. The kids look so cute in the pool squished together.

  2. That sounds a lot like my wreck. My car finally got done last week (over a month later!). At least you were still able to go to the game.
