Hear Ye, Hear Ye...

We have finally endured what seemed like the longest drive home in the whole history of my life, to and from Utah in a whirlwind trip. We drove straight through and I (Rachel) nearly killed my family. Its just really hard to be the waitress of the steel cage, getting the fallen sippy cups, stuffed animals, dressing and undressing Barbie, as well as making sure all electronics are well and functioning. I'm pooped. I kept trying to convince Boo to let me do some driving, but I know he hates taking on the waiter role as much as I do. Its very hard to imagine doing this drive again for the holiday season.
While in "Zion" we took in some conference, tried to cure our colds, went to the zoo, a birthday party, played with our dog friends, and shoveled nearly four tons of rocks and dirt. That was a lot of shoveling. Luckily the weather was nice, the company fantastic, an overall eventful trip. Thanks to all the family that hosted us and entertained our baby. We love you all and will see you sooner rather than later.
Noelle and her dog friends, Jack and Eddie, the Merry-go-round at the zoo and a peacock who wanted to eat Goldfish crackers from her hand. (The turkeys at the zoo where trying to make their way over to the crackers but I think they got lost within the tables at the food court.)






Although the drive home consisted of certain movies being watched multiple times, a couple of stops for leg stretching and a few minor meltdowns, I'm sure we'll recover quickly.
Also, a side note...Boo passed the Arizona bar exam, hooray!!!

We sure had fun visiting at my house for lunch. My kids love Noelle, she's so cute (all girl). Glad you made it home safe. Congrats to Boo, althought we still hope he gets the job here in Utah.
