We drove to the car dealership tonight to pick up Mike's new company car. Typical of Iowa weather in February.....it wasn't a pleasant evening. It has been warmer these last few days, with lots of melting snow.....which brings fog....a lot of fog and with it comes mist. Yeah!
Mike said it had to be about the worst weather he'd ever pick a new car up in. Add to it that by the time we started to the dealership 40 miles away it was dark. Yeah again!
The boys were really excited to go along and to be "first" to ride in a NEW car. Mike drove it across the street to the gas station and then decided I should drive cause he'd been driving all day. Yeah! Again! (You got the part about the fog, mist and pitch black, can't see 15 feet in front of you conditions?)
We made it 2/3's of the way home and came up on a deer beside the road which resulted in the sudden need to apply the brakes. The deer stood still and we made it by without incident. Then we hear Eli from the back seat, "Thank You Mom! for not hitting the deer. It would be bad and dead." Yep, pretty sure Dad nor his company would have appreciated the introduction to Bambi. It did serve as a lesson to the shorter family members that there is a reason Mom preaches the seat belt rule. I am also pretty sure Lucas is looking into litigation on whiplash.
