2nd Day of Travel

Well - our second day on the road has been wild. Things started out well - having a quick breakfast at Denny's, then getting on the road. Around 2:30 we are driving through Parachute, Colorado, where the weather was a cool 85 degrees. Miss Bailey asked to roll her window down and when she did - we heard this loud roar - like a large vehicle passing us on the right side - but nothing was there. Nick slowed down a little bit and then our car started shaking. We quickly realized that our tire had blown out. We were able to get off the road and park under an underpass. Everyone was a little shaky when we finally got stopped - but so thankful that we were okay. We called roadside assistance and within two hours we were back on the road.

I am so thankful that Bailey asked to roll down her window at exactly that time. We had been driving at a good speed (blasting Hillsong) so we could not hear a thing in the car. So grateful for the great hand of protection that is over us.

We are still on the road making up the lost time and will hopefully arrive at our hotel destination in about 1.5 hours. It is storming pretty bad. Bailey is a little bit nervous. We forget how awesome Cally weather is until we get into the other states. There is lightning everywhere and it is raining really hard.
