Joyriding!

Saturday the family all loaded up to go visit the Weeks for a little while. On the way there we were run off the road. A lady started to pull out of a road on Chris' side and made a left right in front of us to head the same direction. We would have hit her if Chris had not pulled off the road. We drove into this small ditch at the top picture and you can see right before the paved driveway there is a chunk of grass missing, we hit that with the bottom of our car and flew into the air over the driveway and landed on the other side.
Chris did a good job if he had pulled off any later or swerved left or right anymore, we would have ran into the mailbox or those two small trees. You can see the chunk of grass missing on the other side of driveway. That's our landing. We got some KILLER AIR!

We thought we blew out our tires because the bottom of our car dragged along the grass for awhile there, but the car seemed to be okay. We are getting the suspension checked just incase. The kids were all buckled and a little scared at first but all okay. CJ right in the middle of it just as we hit the driveway yelled at dad angry like, we thought that was kind of funny, we had to explain to him afterwards we didn't do that on purpose the other car forced us to. Thank Heaven we are all fine and so glad that we didn't hit anything, those moments are so stressful.

I forgot to mention, the lady did pull over and checked on us, she was an older lady and just didn't see us somehow. At first I was the one really mad and yelling in the car "how could they not see us" and Chris very nicely told me to calm down. I was impressed that he was holding his composure so well.
