Road trip to Texas!

Hello everyone, today is the day I talk to you about the 25/26 hour road trip my family and I had, hope you enjoy! It was about 3:00 a.m when my family and I loaded the car with our lugages and drove all the way to Texas. It was dark and gloomy outside when my sister fell back asleep and I could not wait to get there so I put some music on and just glared out the window. My mother tried to keep my father from not getting bored on this such long drive and they spoke while I had my headphones in and my sister was fast asleep. My family and I were all heading over to Texas for thanksgiving because we have two of our families that live over there. It was not just my sister mother father and I but it was my aunts, uncles, cousin, and even my grandma who all went over there. We only had about two/three stops  to catch up with my Anuts uncles cousins and grandma who were in different cars to use the restroom and get some food. We continued our long drive and finally we got to Texas after passing through Arizona, Mexico, Utah, etc. We got into this private community and we're excited to tell the security guard letting people enter the names of our family members and as soon as that security guard called them to see if we were allowed to enter, they got super happy and joyed. My cousins and I all got a house tour, saw our rooms and our cousins helped us put our stuff Inside. By this time it was about 9:00 p.m and it was almost pitch black outside. We all fell asleep but our parents stayed up and had time to chat with each other as adults. Our first morning there, only one of our aunts was there. Just her and all my cousins, we all asked were our parents have been and she said "You guys do not know? You didn't hear?" And we all shook our heads no. She said, their all in the hospital, you're father has broke his leg in 17 places. My sister began to cry I didn't know exactly why. I kind of gave a confused look and said "my father?" She said yes, he broke it last night about an hour after you guys got here. We all headed to the hospital and met everyone there. It was about two days before thanksgiving and he broke it way to much he had to stay in the hospital for about a week and we were only gonna be in Texas for a week! He stayed in the hospital as well did some of my aunts and uncles. That morning, my sister and I had the curiosity to know what exactly happened, we knew he slipped but where, how? We figured out that since it was so dark outside, he went out and the grass was wet, slipped back, landed on his side and his leg was bent out the wrong way but the fall was so hard the impact of it made his bone shatter. Well we spent thanksgiving in the hospital room but it sure was a thanksgiving to remember!!! He got a plane back to California about 2 weeks after my mom drove us back to California. It was not the best trip because the whole time my parents weren't with us, they were in the hospital!!! The only part of Texas they got to see was the hospital!!! Well that was about 4 years ago and it's a memory to look back on!!! Oh and on the way back, my about 6 month old cousin was in the car with us and would not stop crying it was such a painful trip. We stopped in Alberqurcue and it was only about 20 degrees  Fahrenheit!!! Well I hope you enjoyed that story! Till next time!!
