We went to Stake Conference a couple of weeks ago in a town about an hour away. Not only is the chapel open for seating but the vast expanse of the gym is also available. I got snagged in the hallway upon arrival and found Pops and company seated clear in the back behind at least 15 rows of vacant seats. Based on previous conference attendance, he had reasonably low expectations of for the meeting. Shockingly, all 7 Toads made it clear through all 2 hours. A family record for sure.
Nothing left but to lean back and cruise home to Sunday afternoon bliss, right?
Wrong! We got stuck in Patriot's stop and go traffic AND GOT REAR ENDED! Squished the bike rack into the back of the van and shattered the back window. No harm done to the safely buckled Toads, in fact some of us barely batted an eye.
With this situation on our hands, we had to get a rental van for a couple of weeks.
Pain in the neck, right?
Wrong. Turns out to be the best two weeks of our lives. The rental had a DVD player in it. The kids just wanted to drive and drive and drive. We plugged in "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" and "Santa Clause is Coming to Town" and it was our own little piece of heaven. We had to return it this Friday afternoon so we decided to take a farewell tour. We loaded the kids up and took the long drive up to Quincy for a Frosty.
Just goes to show, sometimes things turn out better than expected.
