Bye Bye to the Jeep

On April 6 Michigan got an ice/snow storm. We were traveling to Clarkston for the Easter weekend and had left Bay City which was cold but the roads were great. We got close to Davison and ran into some yucky weather. The Jeep hit a patch of ice and rolled into this yard landing upside down. Everyone was wearing their seat belts and was able to get out ok. Ainsley's car seat worked GREAT! I highly recommend the Grayco Snugride seats. We had a State Trooper inspect the seat the first time we installed it to make sure we had done it properly. Tim and I crawled out my window. Tim's neck was smooshed because he's taller than me so he had to go in an ambulance to the ER. He just had some muscle strain and is OK! The Jeep rolled over side to side so there is no front or rear damage. Tim is really bummed to say goodbye to his beloved Jeep. It racked up more than 220,000 miles for us and was still trucking along rather well. Ainsley did great. She cried during the accident but thought the police lights and ambulance lights were rather exciting. She smiled at the police man and jabbered to the EMT's. All in all, we were very lucky. I definately DON"T want to do that again anytime soon unless I'm at Cedar Point or Six Flags on a roller coaster.
