We had a great adventure driving home. We ended up going the long way home, but it was very pretty. The line to cross the border was a 2 hour wait and our car decided to die while we were waiting in the traffic. This very nice lady tried to help us jump it, but it was not working. The battery could not get enough juice to start again. Ben had to push the car to the side and we lost our place in line. Ben left me and the girls waiting in the van while this nice lady was trying to get us help with her OnStar. At this point, Caemlyn was freaking out in the backseat. She was certain that we would just have to live on the side of the road forever and we would never make it home. After a lot of prayer and waiting, I decided to try and start the car again. Thirty minutes passed from the last time we tried to start it. And it started!!! I was able to get back in line and then I had to wait for Ben. I was hoping that I would not have to pay Canadian prices for a tow truck and new battery. Fortunately for us, the OnStar did not work and Ben wasn't able to get a tow truck.
We drove through Glacier National Park in Montana. It was beautiful, but sadly we could not stop and enjoy it. I am sure our car would not have started again! We stopped at the first Walmart that we saw and was able to buy a new battery.
