Last week we went to Nevada for Thanksgiving to visit Jeff's mom, Sue and her husband, Dennis and his twin brother Joe and his family. We left right smack in the middle of one of the worst winter blizzards we've had in a long time. (My parents were not happy about this. They did not want us on the roads.) It was the longest drive. A normal 10 hour drive took us 15 hours. The kids were surprisingly good. We broke it up and stopped in Provo the first night. Then on the way home, we decided to leave a day early to try and beat the next round of snow that was supposed to hit. We ended up driving all night long. We left Pahrump, NV about 6:00pm and arrived home in Parker at about 6:00am. We had good roads all the way until Ogden, UT. Our 10 hour drive only took us 12 hours.
I'm too old for overnighters, (even though I was in and out of sleep in the car.) I think Jeff and I will both pay for that for the rest of the week. We had a good time and it was worth the drive to spend some time with family.
Aunt Shanda and the girls took us up into the mountains to see some petroglyphs. It was on a crazy road and we had a great time piling into one vehicle and climbing hills. When we pulled up to our stopping point, there was a herd of wild horses. We quickly scared them off with all of our action. The kids had fun climbing around on the rocks.
The kids are all growing up way too fast! Back row: Mataia, Whitney, Jessica and Haly Front: Chad, Morgan and Kace.
