We got to spend last weekend up at Bear Lake which was great! We tried to go to the beach but there wasn't one. The water is higher than I have ever seen and even at the north beach there was barely a sand enough to put a blanket. We eventually found a spot and got fried but had lots of fun. On the way home we received a tender mercy. So we happen to not have a spare tire for our van and every time we go on a long trip that passes through the middle of nowhere, I get a little anxious and commit to getting that spare tire. Well, after several trips to the likes of Saint George, Bear Lake, and Arizona, we have been very fortunate and haven't had a flat. No such luck this time. However, our flat tire happened to come in the very ideal location of Evanston, Wy. We pulled into a Maverick to get gas and as we pulled out our tire was completely flat. The worst part about it was that we had a very important appointment back in Springville in about 2 hours for our annual 4th of July neighborhood water fight that we couldn't miss, and every tire place said it would take about 1.5 hrs to get it fixed. Luckily Evanston is the tire shop capital of the world and we finally found a place that fixed it up and got us out in about 25 minutes and $15. We made it back just in time for the 2 and a half hour water fight of the decade.
I believe we received a tender mercy and an answer to prayers of safety. Out of all the places we could have broken down between Springville and Bear Lake, it happened to be in the most ideal place. However, maybe we should finally get that spare tire.
Peter wants to move into your neighborhood for the 4th of July!
