Staples Out, Broken Camera...

The kids are at Sea World today with my awesome brother and his awesomer wife! The two of them took their 4 kids plus my two! David just didn't feel like he would have the energy to make it around the park and I am in a dental lecture on direct composites that I need for licensure.
My head feels so much better since David's awesome sister, Dana took out my staples. (We have the awesomest family!) You wouldn't think it would be so difficult to get a staple remover in her sweet hands, but Dang! You would have thought I was asking for some very invasive, dangerous, expensive medical item that requires extensive training and governing to use. I was willing to throw in the towel after several phone calls and trips to Walgreens and CVS, but not Dana! She found the elusive instrument in Riverside and could not be dissuaded about driving to get it. After all that it was only $1.50! I have taken out David's staples a couple times and Dana had watched them being removed from her son, who is 15 and makes frequent trips to the ER like any well adjusted young man does. She was a natural! Even with all the effort to get the remover (I even tried calling Veterinarians without success, "My dog had surgical staples placed out of state..."), having Dana remove them was so much better than hours in an ER.
I have mentioned that the people who stopped at the scene of the accident were great. We left the scene with both iPhones, both iPads, both cameras, my and Vivy's glasses, and my purse. Everything of significant material value was with us. (And so was everything of immeasurable value!) Turns out, the small pocket camera isn't working but we should be able to get the pictures off. The kids had that camera for most of trip, so it will be fun to have the trip recorded from their point of view. What a small loss, considering!
We learned that when borrowing or lending a vehicle, the insurance is not not that of the driver, but rather, the insurance stays with the vehicle. It makes sense, but surprised us none the less. Did I mention that we have the awesomest siblings?!? Oh yeah, and, not only were we borrowing the Yukon from Dana, my brother technically owns the trailer. We had him doing the shopping and negotiating and gave him the money for it, so it is registered to him and we never got around to transferring the pink slip. *sigh*
We have not heard confirmation that the vehicles have been totaled. Hopefully the insurance companies will get everything rolling next week.
At least our awesome siblings still love us! Or they fake it really well! ;)
