Oh, we had such a long drive. It is so hard to get out of town at a decent hour. The ideal was 2 pm, we aimed for 3, and the actual was 5:30. So, we planned to use some points and stay in Pocatello, ID. Mike drove to Missoula, then we switched, after we turned south, I told Mike if he wanted to drive again he had to sleep. I am a late night person (as you can tell from my late-night posts, if you keep track), so I got us all the way to Pocatello. Now it is 3:30, and Mike, under normal circumstances, would be getting up to help a friend with a paper route, decides to drive us all the in.
Jacob apparently didn't sleep at all. Becca woke up about Ogden, so Mike had a nice conversation with her about our drive, pointing out temples along the way, and different landmarks from when we lived in Kaysville when she was first born.
After arriving at 6, we slept until 11. We went to my in-laws cute little (and it is little), one-bedroom, missionary apartment. It is near City Creek Park where we had a few adventures. The kids would throw a stick or piece of wood and watch it run down the creek, catch it and then run back and do it all over again. (hehe - no electronics!)
Then they began goofing around having fun with the man-made islands in the middle of the man-made preservation of the creek.
They are able to find fun everywhere!
They are able to find fun everywhere!One of our favorite things to do in SLC is go to Sizzler.
I know, some of you might think that's weird, but we love it!
I know, some of you might think that's weird, but we love it! I had the kids stop and serenade their dad for a moment outside,
with our famous Birthday Song! By the way, he turned 43 today, he thought he was 44! Memory problems early? 
I missed Richy's air-guitar, but it was great dinner and it was fun to laugh at the dinner table one last time.

We drove down the street of our old house in Sugarhouse. The kids were laughing at stories and reminiscing. Poor Becca, was hearing some stories for the first time, as she was an 0-6 months at this house. We commented quite a few times how the mountains are all of a sudden there. We forget they are then and then when we look "up", it surprises us. So, we grabbed a few shots
and then turned west to the sunset 
and off to Kelly's house for a late visit. Ready for Day 2? Hope I can get it done! Love, Jenn =)

I was just thinking of you guys today and what goodbyes you might be giving Jacob. We wish him well and will check on his blog from time to time. Our favorite place to eat is actually in Provo at Mimi's.
Have safe travels home.
Love, Levi and Sharon
