It was an eventful day for us today. The kids and I started the day by going to buy them shoes. Both of them needed new tennis shoes and Michaela needed some dress shoes. We found what we needed at Payless.
Then, this afternoon when we were finishing up eating lunch there was the sound of screeching tires. Michael was able to get up from the table in time to see a teenage boy in a Jeep hit the light post in front of our house, spin back out into the street, hit another car and causing it to go up into the yard across the street from us and spin to a stop in front of our house. The other car had a lot of damage to it's door, fender and the back window was shattered. The Jeep had a caved in front end.
I called 911. Evidently the man in the other car called to and said he did not need an ambulance. I'm not sure that was such a good idea. Michael said there was a big red spot on one of the kids' face that was in the car with the man. This was not the man's son, he was someone else's child. I'm not even sure they called the boy's mother.
Michael went outside to wait for the police to arrive. The teenage boy said he'd lost control on the wet pavement, but we know he peeled out by the sound of the tires. Michael to the police officer what he knew. The boy got a ticket for driving recklessly. It's the type of ticket that requires he appear before a judge.
After that it was time for us to get ready to go to the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert. We took the kids this year. It was their first time going to any kind of concert. Caleb was so excited you would have thought it was Christmas Eve. TSO added some cool stuff to their light show. They have all these t.v. screens and a net of LED lights now. I thought it was really cool. Michaela and Caleb loved it. It was a good afternoon.
We came back to town and had a late supper at Applebee's. It was a good supper. I think we were all pretty tired, though. We came home and just chilled at home for the rest of the evening.
