A little vacation

Last week the kids and I took a trip to Utah to visit my friend, Julie. They did a great job on the long car drive. On our way there, the 15 was closed 20 miles before Vegas, for about 3 hours, so that greatly increased the length of our drive. Surprisingly enough, Mialee and Nathan thought it quite fun to watch the cars so close to us and see people out and walking their dogs on the freeway. :)

We were lucky enough to have snow while we were there which absolutely thrilled the kids. We made a snowman and had a snowball fight. We went to the 4 temples in the area-Mialee has been wanting to see the SL temple in person, and got to do a session at the Jordan River temple while a nice YW in Julie's ward played with the kids.

On the way home we saw Shelley and Jolie and Mom and Dad. Sorry we missed you Tracy and fam!

We had a great time and came home to many new posts of your adventures! Our blog had an exciting, busy week.

I don't know how to post pictures with the camera I have, so this will have to do.....

Well too bad I wasn't there to play in the snow too.

So glad that you had a good time. Now you know that you and the kids can do it so you can come visit everyone!!

Sounds like you had a great time. What a blessing that the kids did well on the long drive.

Becky, so sorry we missed you. We are all gone in the afternoons. Mornings are about the only time we are around (at least me) during the week and evenings of course. I am glad you got away and had a great trip and SNOW. I think that white stuff is magical.

I was dying when mom told me about your three hour visit with a very still freeway! That is so great that everyone lasted!! You are so brave to go on a road trip like that by yourself. I'm trying to get brave enough to do it by the time I have a second car... I guess that means I have a while to build up my nerve! haha

I'm glad the kids got to build a snowman. We haven't had enough snow around to here do any of that.
