The Best Laid Plans

We had a full day planned for today.  I had a spin class at the Y this morning and the boys were all excited to plan at the kids area there.  Then this afternoon we were meeting a friend and her son at the pool in our neighborhood for some fun in the sun.  The boys got up and I got us all fed, dressed and out the door, VICTORY!  They happily let me buckle them into their seats and then away we went ... about 10 feet before I stopped realizing something wasn't right.  Yup, my tire looked like this.

We weren't going anywhere anytime soon.  I think I could change a flat on my own, with the proper equipment and without two very "handy" helpers at my side. I didn't have the equipment though and did have the helpers, so I called in reinforcements.  The boys loved watching the guy that came out to change my tire.  Jax kept offering to help which for some reason the man didn't accept.

While the spare was quickly put on it took the rest of the day to deal with getting new tires (yup two as it turns out another was on the way out).  So no gym for the kids and no swimming with out friend.  Luckily we were able to meet up with YaYa for a very late afternoon swim at the playhouse where the boys decided to spend the entire time jumping in the water.  It is their new favorite game and I love that they are getting so comfortable in the pool. It is going to be a great summer, just hopefully with no more flat tires.
