4 X 4

My sister and brother-in-law made a trip to Oregon when Shae was born. They had a great time with the kids and decided to take them to a wild animal reserve about 1 1/2 hours away. So all of them piled in the mini van and went on a road trip.

Now Oregon is a logging state. Much of the economy is based on that industry and any freeway will accommodate many trucks loaded with timber as well as lumber ready to ship. Russ was driving behind one of the said trucks. A 4 x 4 piece of lumber escaped the come-along and shot through the air end over end and slammed into the windshield of the van and continued its journey over the top of the car and slid across the freeway.

Everyone was perfectly fine in the car, although the windshield was smashed, just a little. Russ and Shelly felt horrible about the damage until Kelsey made her profound statement of fact. "Ohhh, my Dad is gonna be mad at you".

They couldn't wait to get home and see Scott angry because they had never witnessed him and that kind of emotional situation.
