So much for our plan
s to leave early for vacation in hopes of making good time while the kids were sleeping! At 6:00 a.m. we awoke to a loud yell followed by the brakes and impact. According to Annika, we hit a reindeer who is now sleeping in the grass on the side of the highway in Vernon, Texas.
I was actually proud of myself for not getting to uptight about the whole event. After all, who can be upset when you learn that the world still has good Samaritans in it. Within 10 minutes the nicest cop came to our rescue. He gave each of the kids a stuffed animal, showed them his sirens and lights, and took us to the police station. Then his kind wife took us back 50 miles to Wichita Falls to rent a car. Thankfully we were all safe and although we were a little behind on our trip, we learned how good it feels to be helped in a time of need.
