Pumpkin Patch, & Hitting Walls

The first weekend in October found Ben, Sara & I helping Ben's mom, Susan at the church with their Pumpkin Patch/Craft Fair.

My job was making popcorn.

Sara & Ben had the bouncy house.

He is such a handsome guy!

Pretty flowers out front of the church.

We had a fun Saturday.  After we were done we went out to eat before we headed home after a long day. Ben and I headed home.  Sara went over to her friends house to stay the night.

This is Sheila.  Sara's car.

Sunday was a day that Ben and I were just going to hang out at  home to relax and be lazy.

But Sara had something else in mind.

In the middle of the night Sara headed to the hospital with her friend and family.  A baby was on its way and everyone was going to be there.

Sara had been really tired prior to even going to her friend's house.  She hadn't been sleeping good for a few weeks and things were catching up to her, she had not yet been able to catch up on resting.  I should have told her no on going to hang out with her friend and made her go home and go to bed.

I'm in the bedroom putting away laundry.  I hear Ben on the phone, I stood by to see if I could figure out who he was on the phone with and soon I knew it was Sara.  He gets off and says put some shoes on we need to go to town, Sara hit a wall.  I almost started to freak out but I didn't, he said she was fine but shook up.   We get to the hospital, where she was at with her friend and friend's family.  We couldn't get into the parking garage where she was at in Ben's truck with the water tank on it.  We parked and walked up to find her sitting in the car with the hood up on the car.

She had gotten back with drinks from Dutch Bros and she had friend of the family in the car with her and upon returning and getting ready to park, she hit the gas instead of the break and hit the wall in the parking garage.  The drinks flew and spilled all over the place.

The bumper on that car is quite strong.  It looked good, in fact we weren't even sure she really hit the wall, but there was damage done to the radiator.  Ben drove the car out of the parking garage into the parking lot at the hospital.  Then we got in Ben's truck to go rent a trailer so that we could haul her car home so he could look at it and fix it.

It wasn't really  how I wanted to spend our Sunday, but I am very thankful that she was alright and that it was not worse.  She ended up being sore on her side and back from being buckled and jerked hard in the car when she hit the wall, but she was alright.

What a weekend!
