We just went over the Mississippi River when the tire pressure light came on. We stopped at a Chevron to see what happened. There was a giant gash in the tire so we got some Fix-A-Flat from the gas station.
We "fixed" it up and continued for a little bit, but the tire went flat again. We decided to put the spare on so we could get to the Walmart down the street. Dad taught me (Deacon) and Keely how to use a jack and put a spare on the car.
Don't buy cheap Fix-A-Flat from a gas station. It doesn't work.
We eventually got to the Walmart, but there was an hour or two wait if we want to to get the tire patched. So as Keely and Wendy went to try on bathing suits (whole other story), my dad plugged the tire as I (Deacon) lost my family in Walmart and tried to find them again. Finally, I found my dad who plugged the tire and he told me to help him take the spare off and put the plugged tire back on our Mazda 5. After the tire was on, my dad and I tested out the plug while Keely and mom where doing whatever they were doing. My dad decided that the tire was fine so we got back in our mini-mini van and continued to Corpus Christi. That is enough drama for today and there is even more because, well, we're the Bakers.

I wouldn't expect anything less from the Bakers. It's all about the adventure and the stories. The most important question is, did the girls find a bathing suit in Walmart??
