Canada Day wasn't much of a celebration day for us this year. We were in Black Beauty most of the day travelling to Edmonton. The highway was super crazy busy. We avoided as much busy-ness as possible just trying to get to Uncle Dwayne and Auntie Trixie's. We even packed our lunch and pulled off the highway to eat it. One exciting, but scary thing did happen though. We had an accident on the highway between Calgary and Edmonton. We were in the passing lane and all of a sudden traffic came to a standstill without much notice. Ken hit the brakes and in slow motion, it felt like, we bumped into a Ford F150 truck in front of us. Black Beauty is such a heavy beast and we had her loaded to the max which made it hard to stop so suddenly. Thankfully we were all okay and we never got hit from behind. The truck we hit didn't have any damage, just Black Beauty got a dent in her bumper from the trucks hitch. The boys assessed the situation and figured Black Beauty would be fine with a bandaid and they insisted on wearing their bike helmets the rest of the trip.

So glad everyone was okay, but the boys decision to wear their helmets is pretty funny. Good thing for Black Beauty. We got a bigger vehicle this year for that reason...driving on Maritime roads in winter especially.
