Hey...Look at what my kid did.

Here is the story:

It's Saturday July 2, we are all at the garden doing some weeding so we can get home and hook up the boat that we hadn't had out once this season.  While we are at the garden we notice that the sprinkler pipe Caden moves in the wheat field is not on.  Caden had just moved the pipe that morning and turned it on. 

After weeding we stopped at the Ball's house so Caden could ask Ryan, his friend he moves pipe with, if he knows why the water isn't on. 

Ryan has no idea what is wrong so they decide to get in the Yukon and go out to the field to check the pump.  Meanwhile we decide to let Caden drive the Yukon with Ryan and we are going to stay at the Ball's house to visit. 

Caden backs up to get out of their drive way and runs into a tractor that the neighbor had parked behind the Yukon while we were talking.  The car didn't have a chance as it was smashed into the front end loader of the tractor.  The tractor by the way was fine.  Our car on the other hand is pretty messed up. 

Caden was driving like 2 mph...but HE DIDN'T LOOK BEHIND HIM!

Guess who didn't get to go boating...

Funny side of this story is that while we were on Trek, some drunk teenagers decided to throw rocks at about 10 vehicles parked at the trail head.  When we got our car we noticed that a big rock had hit the back door and dented it and scratched the paint off.  We were just checking into getting it fixed.  Another suburban had the entire back window bashed out.  The dent Caden caused swollwed and ate the little ding from the rock.  You can't even see it in the picture. 

SO...now we get a new back door...didn't that work out well?

The bad part is for vandalism the deductible is only $250.  For this little accident the deductible is $500.  The good thing is since we haven't filed a claim...ever.  This one is a "freebie".  That means lucky Caden's insurance won't increase.  But not so lucky Caden will have to pay the deductible for NOT LOOKING BEHIND HIM.
