Back of police cars....

Micaela and Dominique riding home in the tow truck

Mathew was a bit freaked out so we took some mug shots 

Still breathing! It does not look like it is very small but I assure you that what you see in this photo was all of the space that we had! LOL
So I had a crazy day. A group of my friends decided that we wanted to go see the most recent movie Brave.  Well, we had quite an adventure ourselfs getting there. After a lot of communication mishaps, 3 of us finally got on the road to pick everyone up. Skip ahead, now there are 4 of us driving to Manti to pick up the last one. On the way back we were on the freeway and my friend's car stopped. Like stopped working. Luckily, we had enough momentum that we could pull over to the far left lane. Well, I don't mean to complain but it was HOT!! As several of us tried calling everyone we know, the rest of us entertained ourselfs with random car games. Well, we won the alphabet game, and Ispied ourselfs to our limit. Eventually a highway help car found us and gave us some water. Now we just had to wait for the tow truck. By now we have been stuck here for approximately almost an hour. Well, there were 5 of us total, 2 of us could go in the tow truck but that still left 3. My friend's visiting grandmother happened to be the only one home. So she drove up and down the freeway hunting for us, later to find out that we were on 2 separate freeways!!! So she pulled in to a gas station to wait. Lovely. Now I was put in charge of my friend's little brother who is now starting to dehydrated on the 100 degree freeway. Luckily the highway help guy still had a few waters left over. About another half hour of waiting a police man finally showed up to help transport the last 3 of us remaining. Well, my friend Chris rode in the Highway Help car and my friend's 12-year old brother and I squeezed in the back of the police car. And I mean squeezed. I doubt that an obese person could fit in the little cage they had  back there. By some miracle, Mathew and I did it for a few miles until Chris, Mathew and I found my friends grandmother to take us home. Well, I thought that it would be smooth sailing from there but no. I have yet to see worse traffic. Okay skip ahead, we are all now home and 2 1/2 hours late for our movie but gosh dang it we weren't going to do all this for NOTHING!! So we finally were able to see it. It was cute, and I recommend it. Honestly, at that point, we were all expecting fireworks to shoot out of the screen to make this trip worth it. Well who knew that I would be so rebellious to ride in the back of a police car?!(He assured me that he regularly cleans it...)
