thursday i woke up and felt the urge to go shopping.originally it was just going to be me and laura and mark was going to stay home with the rest.well,then i got this bright idea,why don’t we bring everyone,since mark had the day off. so we did!

well we had driven about 15 miles,when we were going around a certain traffic circle before we got on the highway,when we suddenly felt the van start to wobble. GREAT! it was really bad,so mark pulled out of the circle to the gas station and couldn’t find anything wrong with the tires…..he knew that the right rear tire had been low on air recently so we figured it was out of balance.

we get onto the highway and the faster we went,the wobbling seemed to go away. when we got to the shopping plaza,we took the van to SEARS and figured we would get all new tires,they looked at the one tire and turns out it was separated on the inside.

we spent the whole day just walking around the mall. when we were ready to leave and pick up the car,they told us our front tie rod was bad (would explain the wobble when we would brake) SO we waited for another hour, by this time we were all starving and decided to go to Olive Garden.

so we were driving to Olive Garden and jonathan yells CHUNKEN CHEESES! look laura,carter!! it’s CHUNKEN CHEESES!!! needless to say,we ended up there for 4 HOURS! it was fun,and i was exhausted.

we don’t often take all the kids with us, based on thursday, i would do it again..(i was actually able to get some much needed shopping done!)

this was at the mall in one of those picture takers..we tried to get all the kids in the picture,heh heh.it didn’t work. we got three of them and the others heads.

now some pictures of the rest of the night..(ok ALOT of pictures)
