One of the kids suggested we crawl down the stairs face first as that kept the head lower and more protected from smoke. So we tried it. Not very easy.

Funny post. Some events in the past I would like to forget and the the engine problems and being towed with 7 kids and a dog was one I thought I had forgotten. The post reminded me of the unexpected adventures of being a mother. Now I can see the adventure from the point of view of two of the kids instead of just my own point of view.

A few times my two cousins, mother, aunt, and I drove the 24 hour drive from Rhode Island to Florida without stopping. You think a car is big until you’re in it for 24 hours with three kids, cooler, etc.
