And we got a flat

We got a flat tire on the way home from Tennessee. Luckily we were right by an exit with a gas station. The girls helped James change the tire to the spare. We rode on it for awhile and then called Ben and Janet who looked up a tire place for us that was open on Sunday. Who would have thought of WalMart??!! It was 4 miles up the road so we stopped and they told us the tire was un-repairable but they did not have the right size so they called around and found a tire place 12 miles back. James dropped the kids and me off at a McDonalds Playland. We ate, played, and then ate more - we split a McFlury and finished just as James walked in with a fixed van.
James helped Sydney with the Jack and he helped her tighten the bolts. Because it all took so long, we skipped Dino-World. We told the girls we would stop there next time.

Raleigh was looking under the van to make sure the spare tire came down. The spare is under the front seat - she told me when the tire was down far enough.
