My one weak attempt to preserve memories for my girlies.

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.
