My dad decided to keep me company on the, usually, 3 hour trip down to LaCrosse and more importantly the drive home that would occur later in the evening. Since he was coming along we decided to drive his truck. We got on the road right on time for our 10:30 arrival. We had an hour of the drive under our belts when all of a sudden the truck transformed from sounding like a modern day truck to what I can only image a tractor sounded like in the early 1900's. We pulled to the side of the road and called AAA. They scheduled a tow for us which was slightly delayed because AAA couldn't quite figure out where we were on the highway after we told them our location multiple times. They finally connected us with the local tow truck driver and he knew right where we were. Thankfully, it was starting to get cold in the truck and a little boring after sitting there for an hour!
We were towed about 45 minutes back to Hudson where my aunt met us so we could borrow her car. The dealership is only 7 miles from home but this part of our drive had taken us over 3 hours!!! We were on our way again around noon and arrived in LaCrosse around 3:00 only 5 hours late, not too bad all things considered. When we arrived we unloaded the car and my dad when on a search for a coffee shop with wi-fi. As he left I told him to give me a call if he hadn't heard from me in 1.5-2 hours, just in case our phones weren't working in this new location.
I realized 2.5 hours had passed and I hadn't heard from him. We were close to wrapping up the session so I though I would call so he could head over. I grabbed my phone and realized I had missed numerous calls from my mom and dad and for whatever reason my phone didn't ring. I tried my dad and the phone rang and rang. Then I tried my mom when I hear... you NEED to find your dad he tried to start the car and IT'S NOT STARTING. I thought for sure she was joking but nope it was true. I finally got a hold of my dad who was on the phone with AAA, again! We ended the session then and Kasey's dad drove me back to the coffee shop parking lot where my dad had been sitting during the photoshoot. Turns out they weren't open Sunday afternoons so he just stayed in the car and when he went to turn it on because he was getting chilly...there was nothing. We got jumped quickly and promptly started on our way we didn't want a chance for anything else to go wrong. We pulled into the drive at...8:59! "As long as I'm home before 9".
If you read my long story above thank you and I leave you with adorable photos below! I had to write the story down for people to read because it just too much to believe.
I'm sooo glad we made it to their house for the photoshoot that day. Kasey is adorable and was a great little model.
Who says newborns don't smile?
So sweet!
I hope you all enjoy the photos
