Trip to Price - August 22nd

We made a quick trip to Price for the weekend. Eric really wanted to get his Monte Carlo started for the neighbor who is buying it and also we were picking up a tool box from Cody. We didn't get to leave until Eric got home from work at 7:30 and it rained the whole way down, so it took us until 11:00 to get to his mom's. I really hate driving/riding in the dark. There was some type of race or event going on in Spanish Fork canyon, which I thought was totally crazy to be riding/running through that canyon at 10:30 at night. It is a scary enough canyon in the daylight. It slowed us down quite a bit. There was a cop escorting one biker and he was going about 10 MPH and we were stuck behind him for a good 10 minutes. We finally made it safe and sound. We visited with Eric's mom for a little bit and then we were ready for bed.

Saturday after lunch we hooked up with Cody and Lexi and went to their house and had BBQ. It was good seeing them and having time to visit. We were sad we didn't get to spend more time with the family. I realized that we haven't been to Price since New Year's Eve. Way too long. It is hard to believe it has been that long. It is so hard as the kids get bigger and now that I am in schooling our weekends just fill up too fast and it is hard to get away.

Sunday, Mary cooked us breakfast and then her and Maisie went to K-mart to exchange a shirt she had bought her. When they got back about 1:00 we were on our way home. We stopped at Costco in Spanish Fork, Cabela's and then Popeyes for dinner. We didn't get home until 6:30. It was a mad dash to mow the lawn and get laundry done for the week.

We had a great weekend and I am so glad we made it work. We need to keep the distance between visits shorter next time.
