Taxi Driver...

Published on Nov 12, 2016

Some days I think I should have a taxi meter in the car or better yet an Uber account to shuttle everyone around!  A few weeks ago me and my favorite sidekick drove for 3 hours straight... yep not a typo... 3 hours!!

It went a little something like this...

Ainsley: "My friends and I want to go to the corn maze in Blackfoot."  I asked the usual questions... who is going, how are you getting there, what time etc... Ainsley said the boyfriend was driving (he has a permit) and his mom would be going since he has to have an adult driver until he gets his licence.

So panic immediately set in...not ready for kiddos driving each other around... yes there was an adult in the car but an inexperienced driver... on the freeway going 80... late at night!?!  It wasn't just the boyfriend... I would have felt the same way if it was any one of the friends driving. Thankfully more kiddos wanted to go than seats available so I said I would drive... drop off... and then go back later to pick everyone up.

Walker also had a scout camp out that same night and couldn't stay overnight because he had a choir retreat early the next day... so we had to go and get him off the top of the mountain and bring him home as well.

We left at 8pm picked up the kiddos we needed to and drove 40 minutes to drop them off... then drove past Pocatello and up to Scout Mountain in the dark... almost hit a moose (holy crap that was freaky!!)  and luckily found the scout group on the mountain (no cell service). There was no time to head back home to drop Walker off so we immediately drove back to the corn maze to pick everyone up by the 11pm closing time... took everyone home and then whew... we joked that we actually could have driven to Butte that night!!

So yes the group at the corn maze...
