Near Miss on the way back from Toronto

 Shira, the kids, and I, were in our van on the way back from Toronto...it was on Route 15 near Mansfield at 11:30pm, Sunday night.

 

Anxious to get home before it gets "too" late, we weren't making many stops.

 

I was driving.

 

The road dips up and down and then all of a sudden we see two deer on the road ahead of us. One deer in each lane. No room to go around, no room to pull over.

 

I hit the horn and the brakes and aimed for the middle, trying to direct the van in between the deer.
