Update!!

We made it to Utah. We left last Wednesday and arrived here Thursday. It took us about 31 hours travel time. We drove through the night, stopped for food and bathroom breaks, or we would have made it sooner. We also traveled through cold temperatures, clouds sitting on the ground, snow, sleet, hail and the aftermath of a tornado in Laramie, Wy. We had to drive about 25 miles an hour between Cheyenne and Laramie because of the storms. The authorities actually were just getting ready to close the freeway when we passed. I didn't think it was going to be cold plus we were going to Utah where in the summer it gets hot so I didn't think we needed warm clothing, we were leaving 80-90 degrees with high humidity, so we all left in sandels, shorts, no jackets and we froze taking our stops.

We are really glad to be here. Dad left on Monday to go back home for work, so the rest of us are here playing with our cousins and helping Grandpa with his yard work. For the first few days it was quite chilly here, but now it is warming up and becoming wonderful. We are still trying to get up to the mountians to go camping but last week there was still snow drifts on the road. We hope that we will be able to get our trailers up there soon. I am getting anxious to get to the mountians. I love to go camping and the kids are getting excited to go.

Well that's about all for now.
