First day with a new driver and lake effect snow contributed to a trip into the ditch right outside our neighborhood. All the kids were ok and they went to the Easter Seals group home at the end of the street to stay warm. One of the other parents called me but he told me that everyone was ok so I hesitated to walk down there, but I did. There were EMTs checking everyone out. The Principal from Schlegel was there, as was her secretary.
Quinlan and Reilly decided they wanted to come home and spend the day with me and, against what my mind said my heart said OK. Most of the rest of the kids continued on to school without another incident.
It was on the emergency radios as a "bus flip" but as you can see, nobody flipped. The kids slid out of their seats and then climbed out an emergency window with the help of some of the neighborhood men who were on their way to work.
We were thankful to the nice girl at the group home that welcomed them all in out of the cold. The driver was shook up but these things happen and nobody was hurt (thankfully). They did have a whole lot to talk about for a while.
