Haleigh's Birthday Adventure

Today started as any other day....I woke up at 8:00 am and got ready to spend the day with Haleigh. My first stop was to Great Harvest to pick up some of their AMAZING cinnamon rolls. Luckily they had some of what they call their "mini rolls" which are still as big as my two fists!! Then off to surprise Haleigh with a Birthday breakfast with two of her new college roommates. 

Then back home I went so that Haleigh and I could get ready for our fun day in Idaho Falls. So I made John get in the shower while I finished getting my hair together. Then guess what happened after that....... Nope no real adventure yet..... Just back over to Haleigh's apartment where we picked up Haleigh, Jaren, and Tanner.


Then it started..... Around and around we went through all the BYUI apartments looking for Lauren's apartment. Oh okay that's not a very big adventure and yes it might sound a little lame.

But it was only the beginning.... Off to Idaho Falls we started! Everything seemed perfect... I had the girls with me and behind me John was in the van with the boys. Then right before we reached Rigby, the car felt really shaky. Well the road had just changed so okay it could be blamed on that. Then one minute later, I thought I saw smoke coming from the backend. I turned to Haleigh and Lauren and asked them if they saw smoke in the back. Haleigh said no it looks like dirt. Nope wrong! Right after that I heard a pop and saw our entire back tire come off!!


I couldn't believe it! We were only half way to Idaho Falls! Thank heavens that John was behind me and there was a very nice lady cop behind him. Well we very quickly figured out that we needed a drill it get off the tire. The nice lady cop called a tow truck for us and luckily after about fifteen minutes the tow guy showed up. He quickly was able to get the tire of and put the doughnut on which he did free of charge!!!  Thank you! 


So then we parted: John to Idaho Falls and the rest of us right on back to Rexburg!! And then to Commercial Tire where we got extremely lucky in again, when the tire guy told me that he had one last set of tires to fit our car.


So for the end of our adventure, we had a great lunch at Wingers with dessert at Haleigh's favorite: Cold Stone!



Hope you liked your Birthday Adventure Haleigh!
