Traveling these days takes a lot of stuff. When you add in baseball equipment and another child, our car is filled to capacity. But, we packed everything inside and on top and set off on our way to Las Vegas. Just before Nephi (when Kira started to fuss), we realized that the diaper bag was still sitting on the kitchen counter. So we stopped in Nephi to get a bottle and some formula. I made Kira her HOT bottle and we started on our way, again. Shortly outside of Nephi, we hear a loud rattle on our roof. Kevin pulled over to check it out. Apparently, the bar that secures the luggage rack came loose and could not be tightened. So Kevin and Kalin managed to pull the straps of the car topper tight and tie them to another spot on the rack. While pulling the straps, they noticed that one strap was frayed. But Kevin decided it would be road worthy. So we set off again!! Not more than a mile down the road, we hear a riiippp as the strap completely ripped in half. Sure enough, we could not find a way to attach the topper. So we squeezed three bat bags and two chairs inside our already stuffed car and traveled the other 5 hours to Las Vegas. We finally arrived at our hotel. If anyone wants a car topper, it is on the side of the road about two miles outside of Vegas!!!
