Good Riddance Van!

The Van is a GONER!

So December 18th we went to SLC to go to Temple Square! We stayed at Rachel's house that night and left Monday the 19th! We brought home Megan with us to hang out because the Watsons would be coming in a couple days! Anyway on the ride home Monday night we were involved in a car accident!! It was near Mcammon - right by the exit...THANKFULLY no one was hurt- except the VAN! Another good thing was IT WAS NOT OUR FAULT! Will was driving, my dad was in the passenger seat. Brandon, my Mom, and I were in the middle seats and Megan and Mary were in the back seat in their car seats! (another thank goodness here for car seats!) What happened was we were driving along and the car ahead of us- started to exit and had realized they were exiting to soon- so they swerved back on, over corrected and lost control so they were all over the road-- Will did really well slowing and getting over as much as he could and we ended up running into them! If Will had slammed on his break or swerved to hard we would have rolled! we were probably at 60 MPH by the time we hit the car ahead of us! It was so weird it felt like it was all in slow motion!! The airbags deployed and all. It was scary! But could have been so much worse!

We sat on the side of the road for a good hour or so- while we were filling out paper work and waiting for the Idaho Troopers to take us to the gas station! Once we got to the gas station it was so nice to get some HOT CHOCOLATE and to get the girls ready for bed! Meanwhile Lindsey, Kyle, and my moms friend Susan came to rescue us! We finally made it home safe and sound- and no one was hurt, except we were sore and had little bruises!

EEK!

This was in the back of the Troopers car! Mary and Megan thought it was so fun! They received a sheriff sticker from the Trooper which they thought was awesome also!

No worries people... My Mom saved the chocolate!!

This was the car that caused the accident!! this is all that was wrong with theirs- they even drove away!

The airbags deployed...
Airbags STINK and they also smoke- I freaked out about the smoke because I thought the van was going to blow! haha

This was my battle wound- This is from my seatbelt!! This was soooo tender for a few days!!

I am so thankful we were being watched over and didn't get hurt and everyone was ok!!
