Praise the Lord, we made it home safely. We were on the road for twenty-nine hours straight. Thankfully, we had some friends traveling with us so we were able to share the driving. The girls did quite well. Having a DVD player, books, stickers, and coloring activities helped them to handle the many hours in the car. They also slept from about 10 pm until 6 am. We really didn't have any troubles on our trip, but we did have a traumatic experience in Mobile, AL. We had been traveling for approximately one and a half hours when we stopped at a traffic light on a busy highway. A man ran in front of our car and was struck by a car on our left that was coming up to the red light in the left turn lane. This happened right in front of us, but the girls did not see it. I am so grateful that the Lord spared them from the experience. The man's injuries were not life-threating, but he was badly hurt. I have been praying for the family that hit the man. It was not their fault, and they had two girls about the same age as mine. Although the girls had no physical injuries, they were very shaken by the accident.
Things have been very busy since our return. I hope to sort through some photos soon and post them.
