What goes up...

3 funny stories...
Day of departure 8:00am- We drive away from my parents house for the 20-hour trip. 10 degrees outside. Drive to Target in Westminster for coffee mug for me. Drive over speed bumps in parking lot. Both of us comment, "Wow, we are so weighed down we can't even feel the speed bumps!" Mark drives faster over the speed bumps. Mark goes into Target and is done in 5 minutes. Mark exits Target and looks for our white truck, thinking, "Huh, that truck looks just like ours but without the loaded bike rack." Mark opens door of our truck, "The bike rack is gone." "WHAT?!" We drive back to the speed bumps. Rack is on the sidewalk; moderately damaged 3 bikes, one stroller, and all snowboard gear still tied to rack which is now laying on the sidewalk. Lady with missing teeth comes out of TJMaxx and tells Mark he should drive more slowly over speed bumps, and then asks me if he is mad. Mark gets back in car to breathe. 10 degrees outside.
Day of departure 10:00am- After one trip to Ace Hardware, a return trip back home for repairs and yet another emotional goodbye, we are finally on I-70.
10:15 am- Mark and I think about the whole situation and crack up

First night in our place:
Andrew's first night in a real bed, 1am: Crash- Andrew is on the floor and crying

Third night in our place:
Tommy's third night in top bunk bed, 3am: CRASH! 2 kids screaming bloody murder. Tommy fell the 6 feet from bed to floor landing first on Andrew and then the wooden rail that didn't do it's job. Mark wonders how his neck isn't broken.
