Adirondacks, New York

Steve thought it would be fun to tell Emmy that Carebears live in the Adirondacks Forest. He told her if we look really hard we might be able to find a Carebear in the Adirondacks Forest of Feelings. He secretly had me buy a Carebear before we left for the Forest. Then when we got there, he hunted for one with Emilie, while I hid the Carebear in a tree in the forest...this is a picture of Emilie and the Carebear Harmony after the capture!

We had woken up to get an early start on our long drive up to Toronto, Canada. We were driving in one direction when we realized we needed to be heading the opposite direction. And as you can probably guess, 29 foot Motor homes with a car in tow are not the easiest things to flip a u-turn in! We had found a decent place to turn around and as Steve was going to make the turn the car dolly swung out a little too far and caught the guard rail! As we went to turn around we heard a noise and realized we couldn't move forward anymore! We were stuck on the guard rail! The scariest thing about it was we were taking up both lanes! People drive really fast on that road and we were panicked that someone would come around the bend and not be able to stop in time! We were really stuck too! There was no quick way to get out of this sticky mess! Thankfully, we were able to stop traffic before they hit us and with the help of 3 nice men we were able to get unstuck and get off the road. Unfortunately, our early start didn't help much as we now had a flat tire on the tow dolly that needed repair. So I stayed with the kids while Steve drove to a town to get the tire fixed. We are very grateful and feel blessed that we were protected and nobody got hurt.
