What does Water + a cement barrier =
Yep not so Good
Well this last week has been quite an eventful week for out family. Or should I say one event caused our us to be very busy. On Wednesday night Brian had a fire meeting at the station. Usually I don't go but I happened to stop towards the end of the meeting. After hanging out for a while we decided it was time to go home. We were in two separate cars and so I loaded the kids up and started heading home. As I went up the overpass by the fire station I looked back and noticed that Brian's car was smoking. The first thought that came to mind was that it had overheated. So I turned around and headed back to the station. When I arrived I found Brian out of the car and the cement barrier tipped over. (luckily he didn't get hurt) At this point Brian stomped on the front bumper and it came all the way off. It was not quite what I had expected. And to make it even better Brian was being "stupid" when it happened. He was speeding through the parking lot to make a big splash through the puddle. When he hit the puddle he hydroplaned so then he couldn't steer the car anymore and he locked up the brakes trying to stop. He ended up stopping but not until he hit the cement barrier. Well to make a longer story shorter we ended up having to buy a car this weekend since Brian has to commute 100 miles daily. So in the end he ended up with a better car. The first thing Ethan said when he saw the wrecked car was "Dad, you can get a new car now." And that Brian did. I hope that my boys don't learn a lesson from this because if they did it would be if you are doing stupid things and wreck you car then you can get a new one. UUUGGGGHHHHH!
The new car!
