Our Park Adventure

So, after Duane spent a good part of the day working at the new house, he came home and suggested we head to the park in Maryville for the evening. I agreed, as the kids and I were preparing to go grocery shopping anyway. We had a great time at the park, as you can see from the pictures. Shortly after we arrived, an SUV pulled in right beside our van, and the lady just sat inside, reading. I looked over several times, wondering if she was going to get out of her vehicle, but she continued to sit there. "Why come to the park, if you're just going to stay in you car?" I wondered. After a while, we decided it was time to head for the store, so Duane got the older kids buckled, while I put Reagan in her car seat. We hopped in, turned the key. . .and the van didn't start. The lady offered her cell phone, and Duane told her we didn't have anyone to call that was closer than Tarkio. After some discussion, Duane and I decided we would just hoof it to Walmart, buy a new battery, and Duane would take it back to the park and install it while we waited. The lady spoke up and volunteered to drive Duane there, while we stayed and played. This turned out to be a much better arrangement. In a short time, Duane was back with tools and a battery, and we were on our way. Thank you, Judy Wonderly, and thank you God for sending Judy to sit in her car in the park. My question was answered.
