Our original plan was to go tent camping for the week. Well it turned out that for dayS before we left it was pouring rain and thoroughy saturated. So we quickly changed the first half of our time off to go up to the "hill country" for a few days and see some sights there.
So we packed up the car and headed out. We found some NEAT NEAT NEAT places and can't wait to go back again!
We went and saw the cave caverns...it was FANTASTIC!
Mikayla "found" some rock treasures... you buy a bag of sand and wash them off in the water.... it fascinated us for awhile.
After this we went over to the drive through safari! I've been so anxious to do this!! I cannot wait.
Well after waiting in the car line for over 45 minutes..... we had MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR car trouble. We were spitting and sputtering and BARELY made it into a parking spot!
So we spent the next 2 hours like this..... one was talking to the tow truck company, one was talking to the nearest firestone, the other one was pretending to talk to someone (can you guess who?).
Then this was us :(
Over the next 2 days we spent about 16 HOURS waiting for something..... waiting for the tow truck, waiting for the bad news at firestone, waiting at the dealership to get a rental, waiting at the rental for the car....and so on.... then we had to wait to find out what was wrong, waiting waiting waiting...... and through it all, Mikayla bless her heart, was an ANGEL! no fussing, whining, messing around (in a bad way), we found things to do to use our imagination and there we have it. One of her most memorable "games" was when she became a baby dinosaur and her name was Clara Belle.... I had to call her Clara Bell for 3 days.... LOL
So four days later, we have a rebuilt engine! Yay, here's to another 105,000 miles! We had an adventure - not the one we thought we were going to have...but an adventure all the same.
