GOING CAMPING
Jayson had heard of this great place that has a warm spring with tropical fish planted in it. We decided we would take a camping trip there as a family. As we were leaving, Jayson said, "I sure hope we don't get a flat tire, we really do need to get new ones." Well I think he jinxed us by saying that because just before we pulled into the campground Jayson looked back and could see that the trailer had a flat tire. Did I say flat? I meant blown tire.
We changed the tire, set up camp and had a great time playing in the warm spring, fishing, playing games, and just relaxing.
Jayson decided to take some of the kids fishing about 3 miles down the road. While they were on their way, they got a flat tire on the Suburban. Well, Jayson changed the tire, had a great time fishing (caught about 40 fish, but only kept 2 because they were pretty small). After almost 3 days of camping and we really had a great time, we loaded everything up and started to head for home. Once again Jayson said, "If we get a flat tire we are in bad shape, because I have already used the spare." Yep, you guessed it, he jinxed us again. Just about 5 miles down the road another tire blew on the Suburban. Jayson pulled us over onto the side of the road. Two really nice ladies said they would help us. They were so sweet to help, because they had to drive Jayson down to the nearest town which was about an hour away, wait for him to get 2 tires (one for the spare, and another for backup)then they drove him back up to where we were waiting. It ended up being a long day. We should have been home about 4:00 PM, but instead ended up getting home around 10:00 PM. Luckily the kids and I had the trailer we could go into and play games and have some snacks. Elizabeth even took a nap. It was such a blessing especially since Jayson was gone for about 3 1/2 hours. Wow, what an experience. Then to top it all off, on Monday I decided that enough was enough and I was going to get new tires. On my way another tire blew. Good thing Jayson got a backup. When I called Jayson to come and help me he just laughed at the thought that in just 3 days we had had 4 blown tires(completely unrepairable). That dirt road must have really had some sharp rocks, or our tires must have been really bad, maybe a little bit of both. Oh well, good memories.
