I think it rather did spoil the evening (it was our Family Night Out, the one night each month we eat at a restaurant). But these things happen. The next time she rode through that intersection was by herself on the way home from swim practice. She said she was pretty nervous until she was past it. I'm sure now that she's done that intersection again with no problems it won't bother her at all.

It's awfully nice to have the outdoor pool open, so that she can get herself to and from swim practices. The outdoor pool is just a mile away from home, while the indoor pool is much further with some serious hills.
