The Crash.

 Well, the golf cart bliss was short lived.  Shortly after bringing it home Sid asked if she and Kennedy could take it to Reed's for ice cream and to the ranch.  I told her sure.  I forgot to mention that they are very top heavy.  Apparently they had a fantastic outing.  They were gone several hours, and it was getting dark.  Suddenly my phone rings and it was Kennedy.  She starts by saying, "We are okay...".  That is a sure sign that SOMETHING is not okay.  It turns out, they were on there way home and deep in conversation.  Sidney was going through a residential neighborhood and took a corner too fast.  She could feel the cart start to tip, and overcorrected.  Then she panicked and tried to bail, while being seat belted in.  The cart tipped over.  Kennedy was able to unbuckle and get out.  Sidney had gotten her ankle stuck under the cart.  The neighbors heard the crash and ran out to see what had happened.  They helped lift the cart up.  The girls were pretty shook up.  They stuck around to make sure everyone was okay and waited for them to call me.  The cart was drivable, so I asked Kennedy if she would drive it home, since Sid was a bit hysterical.  I guess she was not too hysterical until Kennedy had said, 'Oh, it looks like only the mirror broke'.  Apparently the neighbor man said, 'There is A LOT more than the mirror that is broke.'  At that point, Sidney lost it, 'My mom is going to kill me!'

The girls made it home safely and proceeded to talk about the incident for the next couple of hours.  Sidney said it was very sobering to see how quickly an accident can happen, whether in a car or a golf cart.  

Kennedy came out unscathed.  Sidney had two very hurt knees and a pretty bruised up ankle.  Thankfully, injuries that ice, ibuprofen and time would heal.  

I called the place where we bought the cart and humbly asked about purchasing replacement parts.  They were SO kind.  The first thing they did was ask if the girls were okay.  They also gave us the parts at what had to have been cost.  Sidney was very grateful, as she was on the hook for the repairs.  They also gave us some wheel spacers that would help widen the wheel base out and make it a little less tippy.  I am happy to report that the cart is up and running again and ready to make memories, hopefully not such chaotic memories for sure!
