Yesterday we all needed to get out of town for a while and distract ourselves with a little retail therapy. Twenty minutes into California, the back tire blew out on Kate's car. All we can say is God Bless AAA. Not a great way to start a shopping trip.
I don't really know the safety rules for when your tire blows out on the highway, but something told us that keeping an infant in the car while semi trucks blow by at 70mph wasn't the best choice so while we waited for the tow truck we hung out a little ways down the embankment. This is Kate and our friend Ali, and yes, Ayden is in there somewhere. Good thing it was a cool windy day as we hung out in the desert for 40 minutes.

By the time we got to El Centro we needed lunch. Ayden is not quite big enough for the high chair, but feels important hanging with the adults.


After a long eventful day, this was how Ayden looked on the drive home.

I love the thumb therapy...it never gets lost, always the right temperature and can be used for many moods-tired, bored, frightened,:) He does look great in green. Judy

Glad the angels were watching over you, and of course, the Patron Saint!
