Thanksgiving ride back

We LOVED our Thanksgiving in Logandale. We had so much fun spending time with the family! The bad part was....the ride back. We got over a foot of snow...and...well it could have gone better...

Here's what we left:
Here's a couple of hours later:
And then...
A couple coming from California was obviously not used ready to drive in one foot of snow driving their little Toyota Corolla. They banged in our car and forced us off the free way. The ONLY thing I could hear was: "dont push on the breaks. DONT push on the breaks. DONT PUSH ON THE BREAK." So I didnt. And we just slid our way to the fence through the snow. I pushed on the breaks right before we hit the fence. If I had before, we would have either spin or roll over. It really was so scary. Here's our car stucked in the fence.
Here's our 3 amazing kids. Gage, without knowing, calmed me down. He kept saying "We're ok. We're all ok." And after that I could finally ease my breathing a little (I was starting a asthma attack) and take care of things. Josan asked for me to hold him and, as soon as i told him I couldnt at the moment, he just stayed very quiet and calm. And patient. Taryn, our sweet Taryn, cried a little from the shock. It made me realize how much I love her. I wanted to cry because SHE was crying.
"My" 3 kids (that's what the cop was calling them. And I was loving it)

Wow! That was super scary. I was even holding my breath as I was reading through that post! I hate the idea of having a car accident on the freeway. So glad that you guys weren't hurt!!

That would've been so scary. So glad you guys were all safe and what a blessing that "your" kids were all such blessings of calm.
