Spring Break- Day 1

We headed toward Utah Wednesday after Andy got off work. The roads were an awful slushy mess and every time we went by a semi our windshield would get splattered and ice would freeze around our wipers.
As we neared Bear Lake it was almost 10:30pm so we decided to stay with Andy's grandparents instead of trying to make it through Logan canyon. On our way into Bear Lake we noticed a truck in the middle of the road with it's hazards on, we slowed and asked if they needed help. Their truck had broke down, they couldn't get cell phone service in the canyon and it was freezing out. We squished the kids together and drove the two guys into town. Don't worry, we don't make a habit of picking up strangers.
The kids were excited to stay with great grandma Janene and grandpa Roger. They were so kind to let us come in so late and take over their house. Unfortunately, we didn't bring Sophie's playpen because Andy's parents have one in Logan, so Sophie slept in the bed with me, Andy choose to get some real sleep and go sleep in a different room, and Maddie and Garen kept each other awake giggling in another bed.
We woke up Thursday morning to bacon, sausage, eggs, potatoes, biscuits, and homemade raspberry jam! His grandparents are wonderful, I'm glad we got to spend that time with them- just a few weeks ago his grandpa was diagnosed with Lou Gehring's disease! We stayed and played awhile before heading to Logan. The kids love their talking deer head, the little trampoline, and the bear that copies everything you say.

I thought this was so funny, judging by this picture Garen needs to lay off the food!-

bad lighting, but cute grandpa and Garen

The only way I could get Sophie to stop crying in the car was to let her pretend to talk on my cell phone-
