9 hours of driving, and never left the state...

So I was suppose to be un Utah right now getting ready to go see a play at the Hale Center Theater, which besides seeing family is my favorite part because they do a totally awesome job of entertaining me, but I'm not. My parents decide to drive to Utah and visit family, so I invited my kids and myself along to go see Nathan's parents and my aunt and uncle. It's a long drive for little kids (and me too) so we decided to leave in the evening so they could sleep in the car. We each listened to 3 seperate weather reports that said the Sierra would have very light snow. Well, they are all big fat liars! Are the weathermen(people) conspiring? At first there was light snow, but stopped traffic. We sat for a few hours, then a few ambulances sped by, as fast as you can speed in the snow anyway, and then the real storm hit. Lots of snow and no chance of traffic moving any time soon. So we turned around and drove all the way home, watching the waiting line of traffic 15 miles behind us. It really was a pleasant drive though. Besides a little fussing from M when she was super tired, the kids were happy and great to be in confined spaces with.

So this is what my vacation pictures look like...

Those are truckers pulled over putting on chains, and snow in J's hair as he hangs out the window watching.
