In-laws out of gas

Suzanne's parents are here for a week. We are having a good time catching up and doing things together. The girls are in their glory. I picked them at the airport on Wednesday afternoon, and it went like this:

Temperature was mid 90's and I was running the A/C in our only car. We drove through town just fine, but as we accelerated to 55mph outside of town, the motor sputtered and died. We coasted to a stop, and restarted the car and it drove fine for about 5 minutes and died again. By this time we have the A/C off and the windows down, it's hot. We drove the 33 miles home, coasting and restarting the car and sometimes driving at 30mph, sputtering all the way. Looks like I will be replacing the fuel pump in a day or two when it comes in.

Suzanne's parents have been walking alot of places with Suzanne and the girls. But that's not because the car doesn't run or because their are 6 of them for a 5 seat car. It's because that's how we get around in Hesston. We always bike or walk.
