It's deer season here in Minneapolis. Tonight though, it seemed more like Silver Minivan season.
We (the whole damn fam) were driving over to my buddy Mike's house for a cookout, and had gotten slightly lost. (Don't ask, just blame Google Maps)
So we're heading down county road 47 and this deer charges across the road, narrowly missing a van in the opposite lane, and slamming head on into the side of our van.
Needless to say, we were all WTF was that?!?! We pulled over immediately to check things out with the van, but the deer was gone. The van that was heading the other way turned around and came back to see if everyone was ok, and we were, but the kids were totally freaked out and crying. Nobody in the van was hurt, but it scared them pretty good.
The driver's side mirror was shattered, the door has a minor dent and the (electric) window isn't working. The side of the van has a few scuffs and scrapes and the back panel has a small dent. There's hair everywhere but no blood (fortunately.)
After that, we decided none of us were really in the mood for a cookout, so we headed back home.
