Grandpa to the rescue . . .

Lisa and the children had spent the day at her parents house and were on their way home. They weren't far from our house, on a road they weren't familiar with, and the road suddenly did a 90 degree turn. However, the van didn't. They landed in a snow bank. After the boys accessed the situation, they called us for help. They were just about four miles from our house so Bob grabbed two shovels, the tow rope, two flashlights, his gloves and coat; I on the other hand grabbed my camera, coat, and put on my boots!

Here's a picture of the van in the snow bank.

The boys and grandpa are accessing how to solve the problem.
Matthew started shoveling in the front.

Grandpa was checking for someplace to hook the rope.


Then they decided it would be best to pull it out from the back.

Hooking it up.

The Envoy pulled the van out without any trouble.

After the van was pulled out, I wanted to get a picture of where the van had been.

It only took a few minutes to pull the van out and Lisa and the children were on their way home and so were Bob and I. That was the most exciting thing that happened all day today.
