Backyard Campfire

The girls along with Amy's encouragement have been wanting to roast hot dogs and marshmallows so we decided to do it tonight. It was bath night anyway(we do it on Wednesdays like my DAD) so it didn't matter if we all smelled like smoke. Everything was going good with our "small" fire until our campground got a little boring so I threw our Christmas tree on the fire! First thing that happened was Amy got mad, then the girls got scared and mad, then the neighbors horses went wild like the brood mare herd from snowy river, then the column of black smoke got bigger and more embarrassing, the girls were running for their lives and got trapped against the fence 80' from the fire but still trapped and calling in for the smoke jumpers, then the Dora plastic chairs started to change shape, then it was OVER! It was quite the deal and everyone was yelling and pointing fingers but it all worked when they calmed down and was able to roast marshmallows

Roadtrip to Kanab via Toquerville

This was a great trip! I will just touch on the highlights:
In my car Me. Amy, Kami, Nate, Reghan, Tailor, Kennedie
Left 1/2 hour late, buckled everyone in said prayer.
1st stop...Wendy's in Tooele, I spilled Kami's 44oz Dr Pepper.
Next stop, Meadow for a drink and stretch. Nate and I both noticed the hot older lady working there with a possible boob job, but a bad case of man hands!
Next stop, Toquerville..We made it!
St. George for dinner, small confusion at the Outback but Nate fixed it.
Up early to get ready to drive to Kanab, shower head too low and very energy saving at 8oz a minute.
Had a great breakfast cooked by Kami....Mom liked the french toast.
Went against Kari and Mom and followed GPS route to Kanab, ya it was a mistake. We ended up driving thru Zions and paying $25 on top of that. Did get to see some scenery and drove thru a long tunnel, but not the fastest way to Kanab
Fuel light comes on......just a bit of panic.
Missed 4.5 minute wedding ceremony.....dang it!
Said Hi to Pete and met his Bride and her Mother(very similar)
Home thru Arizona......didn't see any plygs
Great dinner and table at the Olive Garden(what else would you expect from St. George) thanks for dinner MOM!
Stopped at nice new Walmart to get new shower head.
Up and cleaned the cottage.
Stopped at Cedar City....lunch
Stopped at Rest Area.....for Nate
Stopped at Meadow, yes she was working again.
Stopped at Lyndal, reenact the breakdown notice pole and building in pic.
Tailor stepped in the only mud puddle around....she was crying and shoes off.
5 miles later realized shoes were left on car bumper.
Turn around and find both shoes in road 1/4 mile apart.
Stop in Stockton....for Amy and Reghan.
Finally home and watch Jazz finally win a roadgame!
Thanks again for all those who helped make this trip really fun, I barely thought about the fact I didn't get any the whole trip.
