Bird Strike

The day before Thanksgiving, we were planning on attending a Thanksgiving Service at Ely Cathedral, a beautiful cathedral that is in the town next to where we live. It is an annual service that is combined US & British with a choir and is supposed to be spectacular! Well, I received a call from Jonah's school saying that he seemed to be upset and after talking with him and his teacher, we discovered that he was sick, the school nurse took his temperature and he had a fever, so I drove to the school to pick all of the boys up. On the way home, a pheasant flew right into our windshield. It sounded like a sledge hammer hitting the window - very loud. And this was the result:

I called Tom and we decided that I could stil see out my side enough to drive home slowly as we were not that far from our house in Littleport. It took about 2 weeks to get it fixed as they had to order the glass from the States. We now have a new windshield! A little scary, but no one was hurt (except the pheasant who apparently was not a very smart bird). Needless to say, we hope to attend the Thanksgiving service next year!
