Escalante & Family
As soon as Seb got off work we drove to my parents house (also a B&B) and stayed as long as we could. The cousins were there which meant I didn't see my oldest three kids for almost two days except at meal time. Something about that was great, even though I do love them I knew they were having a great time. Building dams in the river, making forts and fires, and searching for the lost indian treasure. Oops I forgot to make a map. They are the second generation to grow up loving running around all over that place. I just wish it was as much fun for Seb being motorcycle-less. It was extra fun to have Lydia and MJ come over from Boulder. I wish we could have stayed way longer. Leaving Dad wanted to get in our car. Mom had to convince him he wasn't leaving with us. So I had to snap a couple pictures, they are so cute.
The baby was so great she only cried once in the long eight hours, there and back, once! I think her ears hurt due to elevation changes. We had to stop in Bryce Canyon for some nursing that is where some of these pictures are taken.
I refuse to drive without baby in the car seat. Just out of Nephi my kids got to see why. There was a crazy accident with ejected people laying all over the road (no pics - sick). Later that night we heard two of the six were dead. That was a big - "See that's why we wear seat belts!" Now if I could only get that image out of my head.

So fun. but not the car accident. But what a good lesson. And a lesson for everyone who reads this that takes their kid out of their seats.
I want to go build a dam.
