Cattle Crash

What do you do when a truck full of cattle rolls over on the highway infront of you while driving in the middle of nowhere? Four hours of this.....
 This....
 This....
 Did I mention I was alone with the kids???.....
 With no snacks....!!!! Luckily the nice grandma infront of us let us share her box of granola bars. Here she is talking to her grandkids!
 People were walking their dogs, and talking to one another. The kids and I took a walk.....
 And collected (what I would let them touch) random highway trash. This was Parkers favorite part.
All in all, we survived. Im just glad the weather was perfect. And note to self, keep snacks in the car at all times....even if you are driving a mere hour and a half to your parents house.

Oh, and because I know you are curious, no we did not get to see the squished cattle when we finally were let go. Just a bunch of bull dozers. I guess, they bulldozed them off the cliff....???? Yuck!

Yuck! Were stuck in that?!?! I saw it on the news and was so thankful I hadn't been on the way down- you poor thing! Glad you and the kids made it through- makes me want to (try, anyway) always pack snacks/water in the car for that little trip to phoenix!
