Dad's Adventure with the Girls!

"For today's adventure girls daddy is going to get into a traffic accident!" I said as we slammed into the back of the red pickup truck. Just when we thought it was over we were hit from behind as a red mini-van careened into the back of us.
"Wow that was fun, can we do that again?" Erinn shouted from the back seat!
"My neck hurts." Kirby said from the seat beside me. "Does this mean we're going to be late for the party?"

"Ah, you guys get to have all the fun!" Blair exclaimed when him and mom showed up a short while later.
"Sure glad it wasn't me." Mom said as she surveyed the damage.

Today I was ferrying the girls around the city, we came to an intersection which was extremely icy and after making an unsuccessful effort to stop, prior to slamming into the back of a Toyota truck, we were then rear ended by a little red mini-van.
The intersection was so icy that when I got out to survey the damage I fell flat on my butt!
The end result is pictured below...

Luckily no airbag deployment!

The impact knocked the signal lights out of the grille, I was able to just pop them back in.

Thankfully the bumper wasn't pushed in any further otherwise it would of hit the radiator.

The tailgate was knocked right off and hanging by the cables, I was able to just put it back on.

The only noticeable damage on the back end was to the trailer plug, which was pushed in. The red Dodge Caravan didn't fair so well, it's front bumper was pushed in and the hood accordioned.
All was not in vain, I got a good visit in with the cops when they arrived, an old friend I hadn't seen in a while.
