Trip to Tennessee /Car Accident

Last weekend we went to visit our family in Tennessee. As always, we had a really great time. Evan was a really good traveler on the way to Tennessee and spent most of the ride watching Star Wars. On Saturday morning, we went to yard sales, which has become one of Evan's favorite things to do when we visit. Later, Evan played with Marlee. (The two boys had SO much fun together!) Evan loved seeing Grandma this trip and gave her lots of hugs and told her, "I love you!" a lot. It was a really nice visit!

Evan liked going to yard sales. He got an X Wing!

The light sabers were lots of fun for Evan and Marlee!

Evan and Marlee enjoyed riding the roller coaster. (They did great taking turns!)

Evan and Marlee enjoyed eating lunch outside.

I got one good picture of both boys where you can see their faces!

Evan had fun "reading" to Marlee.

Evan loves Grandma so much! Of course, Grandma loves Evan very much too!

The trip back from Tennessee was not as nice as our trip to Tennessee. While traveling 70 m.p.h on I-75, we hydroplaned. Our car spun out of control and slammed into a cement barricade. It was REALLY scary! When we finally stopped, we found ourselves facing backward in the emergency lane. The car was badly damaged, but amazingly, we are all fine. We are SO fortunate that we only had bumps and bruises. It could have been a lot worse! Mom and Dad came to get us in Berea, KY, which is where the accident occurred. We were grateful for their help!

This is our car after the accident. (This picture doesn't show the damage well. We know the rotor broke, as well as many things on the inside of the car. The damage was very extensive and the insurance totaled the car.)

We couldn't ride in the tow truck to the towing company, because it couldn't hold Evan's car seat. The police officer that was helping us after the accident let us ride to the towing place in his police car! Evan thought that was super cool!
