A day of Fun with a little Work on the side.

The day was Saturday, 9-17-2001.

The destination was Lagoon, Salt Lake's theme park. 

The goal was to have as much fun as possible. 

And we were well on our way to meeting that goal. But as we arrived to the parking area of Lagoon we very quickly realized that something was not right with our truck. Stevie was the first to see much smoke billowing out from around the hood. And then the guy in the truck next to us hollered, " Hey guy, your truck is on fire!" 

Oh great. Our truck is on fire. I went into panic mode. Looking at Ryan and he gave me a shake of the head and said, " There is not a fire. It would take a lot more then a hot motor to catch diesel fuel on fire. So let's just park the truck, let everything cool down and then see what we have to deal with. "

I love my cool headed man. And I took his lead in staying calm. 

We had to give the truck time to cool down, so we headed inside the park to start our day of fun.  

We were very thankful that it was AMES company day at Lagoon. And very glad to hook up with Ryan's work partner, Carter, who just happens to be a diesel mechanic. The kids and I headed into KiddieLand to start our day of fun while the guys headed off to to deal with the little work on the side. With a quick trip to the Dodge dealer and a new part in hand, the guys were able to fix the fuel line that had been spraying diesel all over the motor. 

We are so thankful for Carters help.

We are so thankful that our truck was not actually on fire.

We are so thankful that we got to have a day of great fun.
