We had a ridiculous Sunday last week. And it's all due to us being unprepared. We sure learned our lesson. We were going to go to church at a branch where Derick's parents are serving a mission. It's about 1/2 hour away. The gas gage on our car is broken, so we just go by how many miles we have used until we can get it fixed. Well, a cable on the engine came loose and after we fixed it, the number of miles started over because the computer reset. We thought that we had more gas than we did. I bet you know what's coming.....yep, we ran out of gas. In the middle of nowhere.
This was the view from the front window.
And from the side window.
And this was the crazy painted rock across the road from us.
So anyway, we had to call the church building to get ahold of Derick's parents (because they weren't answering their cell phones) and have them come to get us. Someone at the church had some gas that we used. By this time, it was Lincoln's nap time, and he was getting grouchy. We had to turn around to go home once we got the gas, so we didn't even get to go to church (We would have only been able to go to the first hour anyway, but that's the most important part).
We definitely learned our lesson. We needed to be more prepared with gas. And we will from now on.
It wasn't funny at the time....but it kind of is now. Ha ha.
Here are just a few randomly mixed pictures from recent events.
Lincoln in his Easter outfit. He looked so handsome.
I just think that Lincoln looks so stinkin' cute in these airplane pajamas.
Derick got this John Deere toy tractor (it actually has a motor and runs) for Lincoln at Habitat for Humanity for $10. Lincoln can't drive it on his own yet, but he sure loves sitting in it and pretending.
