So, about a year ago (give or take a few months), we received a notice in the mail that our Toyota Corolla had a recall issued on it. We promptly filed the notice away with our other "important" documents (aka junk pile) and went on with life. Then, about 6 months after the first notice, we received another notice of another recall on the same vehicle. Once again, I filed the notice in our "important" document file and went on with life.
Well, I finally got around to the "important" document file and noticed words like "airbag failure" and "restraint system issue" in the wording and decided maybe these recalls were more "important" than I was making them out to be. I kept having visions of Jarad being involved in an accident on his way to work and the police saying "If only you would've taken care of the recall issues..."
So, today Carter and I took a drive to the SLC Toyota dealership, where we originally purchased the car 11 years ago, to have them fix the issues and help me sleep better at night. Knowing it was going to be about a 4 hour process, and being smart enough to realize that entertaining a 3 year-old in the waiting room of a car dealership for that amount of time would put one or both of us over the edge, I decided to make an adventure out of it.
Carter and I spent the day downtown riding TRAX, playing at the Children's Discovery Museum and enjoying his favorite lunch; nuggets and fries! Here are a few pictures of our day!
 |
| Riding TRAX! He loves trains! |
 |
| Just doing a little construction work! |
 |
| Making his own music. |
 |
| A indoor foam sand pit! He was in boy heaven. |
 |
| Piloting an airplane! |
 |
| Checking out the workings of the helicopter. |
He seriously ran from one activity to another at the museum! He was so tired by the time we left he could hardly keep his eyes open through lunch. I love spending one on one time with each of my kids. I'm sad that next year Carter will be in preschool and our all day shenanigans will have to end!
