Couldn't be a vacation without car trouble!

Lookie here. Not a fun way to start the trip home. We actually left on Friday, driving down to Utah where the kids and my dad went to the Hill Air Force Base museum. Me and my mom went shopping at Tai Pan. That night we stayed at Aunt Carolyn's house. (Thanks again Aunt Carolyn!)

We left around 4 am AZ time and had just got off the freeway at Nephi and had driven about 4-5 miles before it felt like we hit something and suddenly Cauley was fighting to keep the car upright. (He did a good job!) This is what we found:

Seriously?

There really wasn't any safe place so I made the kids get out to be safe and stand a little ways into the wheat. It was cold and early! Good thing I brought blankets!

Cauley did an good job changing and putting on the spare tire which turned out to be a normal tire. We went back to Nephi to Big O and had them check everything out before hitting the road for the rest of the adventure home.

Mater greeted us in Gunnison. This was a real old tow truck someone had painted and parked on the side of the road.
