Our vacation--part two

Friday morning we were off to Boise. We were traveling along pretty good when we blew a tire on the trailer. We lost all the tire except the sides. Then the jack that we had didn't work with the trailer so needless to say we spent the next couple of hours waiting for roadside assistance to get there and change the tire. We bought a jack and new tire first thing the next morning!! We were late getting to Camille's so we didn't get to see Shane but for a minute before he had to leave for work.

We spent the evening with Camille and the boys. We had lots of
fun watching them with their bikes. Jo-Jo goes just a fast and furious and the other two. His age doesn't slow him down abit.

In fact, Camille even got in on the rides--she likes the skooter.

On Saturday it rained so we spent the day at Camille's and took her and the boys to the movie in the afternoon. We watched Wall-E. Very cute show and the boys all enjoyed it. On Sunday we spent the whole day enjoying conference with Camille and Shane and the boys. Camille made Hawaiian Haystacks and Navajo Tacos for us to enjoy. We haven't had either one for a long time and they were excellent.

Monday we left Boise and headed to Salt Lake. It seemed to take us all day. We arrived in Salt Lake at about 4:30 in the afternoon. We hurried and unhooked from the trailer and sped over to the distribution center before it closed.

Then we went to the Conference Center and beings as we have never seen the conference center we went on a tour. What a beautiful building. We were so impressed with everything. We really enjoyed ourselves. After the tour we walked over to temple square and went in the tabernacle. We were trying to see what they had done on the renovation. but it has been so long since we have been there we just weren't sure.

The next day we were off again and took the whole day to drive to

Mt. Carmel where we stayed that night in a little RV park right on the river. Next morning we got up and went to Zion National Park. We had been there once when the kids were young but hadn't spent any time. We caught the shuttle and went to the end of the road and then walked another mile or so to where the trail ran out and if you went any farther it had to be up

the river because thats all that there is in the bottom. We didn't do that!!! We walked back the mile and caught the shuttle back, stopping at a few places on the way, like Zion Lodge and one stop where there were a few mountain climbers. You really had to search to see them. One group had spent the night on the mountain and were climbing for their second day. We went back to the visitor Center and the museum and we took alot of picture. We were exhausted when we got back to the camper that night.

We did however have a good game of Yahtzee before we went to be. Next morning we were suppose to go to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon but I had fallen ill so we decided to cut our trip short and we headed home. We left our trailer in Chino Valley at Mike's and got home at about seven thursday evening. Glad to be home, but glad we had gone and we had a wonderful time.
