Tire Blowout

Obviously not ideal and something you’d never wish for, but if we had to have a blowout (like legit explosion) it turned out perfectly.

No one or no thing was hurt. Praise Jesus, seriously soooo thankful! Someone kindly waved to us frantically (a new word for Big M to learn) indicating what happened. We pulled over (of course it was right as the road curved so cars struggled to see us) but after the cop came and parked behind us with his lights they got over much better.

American Family roadside assistance came in clutch. The tow service came and air jacked the camper up, put on the spare (the boys got a front row seat) and we were on our way. This whole episode gave us two hours of family time in the cab of the pick-up that we did not expect. The boys were able to get out of their carseats and discover every inch of space. They LOVED putting on our sunglasses and still talk about it.

When recapping the day with Big M he said the worst part was getting the flat tire but the best part was watching the flat tire get fixed. It was a great reminder for us that sometimes without the tough parts of life you wouldn’t get the best things God has in store for you.
