Rowley's: Camping Summer 2011

A Smile for Today!

Lexie was the last one at the dinner table. She tells me, "Mom, if I'm not at the table, don't get mad at me. It's my body's fault. This food is just so delicious that my body just wants to dance."

Lexie was opening a package that had wires and plastic tags through the cardboard. She says, "Those Darn Chinese! They make it so hard to get into these things!"

In Relief Society I recieved a handout with a piece of licorice attached. I gave the licorice to Lexie. She says to me, "Do they always give you licorice at Relief Society?" I answer, "No."
She says, "Just when you been good, Huh?"

Camping Summer 2011

Camping at Davis Creek. Our Quick, 10 minutes to get to, Camp site.

************

The next pictures are the tires on our trailer. We were headed camping one evening when we had a very scary experience. We were driving down the highway with very heavy traffic. We hit a bump in the road where some construction was being done and suddenly the camp trailer comes unhitched from the truck. The emergency brake cabel was pulled on the trailer causing the brakes to lock up. The trailer dropped to it's hitch stand and was being pulled by the truck with the emergency chains that were connected to the truck. I remember turning back and seeing the trailer with it's nose down and I immediatley told the girls to HANG ON! I knew that our chances of rolling were very likely. But we were being watched out for this time. Jim stopped the truck as quick as he could and got over to the side of the road. We both jumped out, and surveyed the situation. The first thing I noticed was a semi truck right behind us. I don't know how he didn't hit into us. Jim quickly got the trailer raised back up and hooked the trailer back on the truck. We pulled on down the road a ways to an area where there was less traffic then we got out and did some more inspecting of the damages. That's when we found the tires were gone....or atleast worn down to the chords. We knew we wouldn't make it very far on those tires. With a phone call to a friend, we were able to find a tire shop that was within 5 minutes of us and was within 5 minutes of closing too. We got there in time, got the tires changed, and headed on down the road to the camp ground. Our prayers were very sincere that night as we thanked our Heavenly Father for protecting us and keeping us safe in a potentially very bad situation.
