Spring break

Spring break was quite adventurous for our family. After work Friday night, we loaded up and drive to Texas. Actually, we left about 6am, so jake could drive and I could sleep some. Student teaching and working nights is exhausting. The drive was going good and then about 85 mikes outside of Odessa, our tire blew. Luckily jake was driving and maintained control but it was a bad one. It bent the metal in a few places and the bumper almost completely off. Monday, we took the tire in for repair and spent the day looking at cars because Jakes parents suggested it. Although we were not sure if we'd purchase a new car yet, Tuesday the fender came off and we decided it probably wasn't safe to drive to San Antonio and then home in the van. That evening we purchased a 2014 Toyota Highlander. Thursday we left for San Antonio where Chris and Crystal and Karen met us to all go to Sea World Friday. It was a fun day. Jake went to a Spurs game with his dad that night and the rest headed back to the hotel but I stayed around with the kids till the park closed. Jenny, Jake sister, stayed with me. I enjoyed chatting with her some.
