The rest of the trip

It's been so long since I went on a long road trip. And it's been so long since I was on a long road trip out west. Everything was beautiful and new.


We drove from Salt Lake City to Lava Hot Springs Idaho.


It was nice that Shane was driving. Minna and I shared the backseat with Hannah.



From the backseat I could see:
Large trucks


Kerianne


Shane


Pretty much the only things to do at Lava Hot Springs have to do with water.


We had a ton of fun with our Family. I just wish the reunion was a day longer, it would give me more time to get reacquainted with all my cousins. Not all of them were there and I still didn't even get to talk to some of them. Candice ended up posting a ton of photos of the reunion, go take a look. Be sure to scroll down and see the synchronized swimming routine video by our family.

Then back to Provo. One of the most fun things about the whole trip is when we went to "Jump On It" to entertain the little kids. Well needless to say Shane and I probably had more fun than they did.




It was also Sharalee's birthday while we were there. (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!)


At the end of our trip we went up into the mountains with Tony and his wife Jocelyn.


It was very muddy


We were up very high. It was very beautiful.


The remainder of the trip was filled with no sleeping red-eye flights. No one felt like taking any photos, so we have none.

I ended up taking a jumpseat from Salt Lake to Vegas, then taking a jumpseat again from Vegas to JFK. That was the red-eye portion. Then I tried to go to work the next day. Around lunch time I actually went into a conference room and took a little nap.

It was a hard trip but family is always worth it.

The photo album is here.

Great pics! I wish we were there. I especially like the ones of BYU I am so nostalgic when it comes to that place. Sundance too.

Hey why didn't you come by and visit us. JK I was actually in PA. But next time, it would be fun to see you and meet your little family.

I'm glad you guys made the effort.

Hey Dan! What are the odds that we would be at Lava Hot Springs at the same time? Did you float the stream that ran through the campground and dive off the high dive? I loved your pictures from Jump On It. I live just a few minutes from that place. It's fun to see pictures of your family. I will be looking forward to future posts. It's really good to hear from you.

O.K. Dan, I'm ready for some updates on you and your family. I hope all is well. ;)
