Layton to Lemoore......

Well, we survived our 12 hour trek back to good old Lemoore, CA. Here's the break down of our trip home:
  • 4: Number of hours Graham cried and yelled in the car.
  • 3.5: Number of hours Lucy cried and yelled at Graham for crying and yelling
  • 2: Number of hours Maggie and Jason spent playing the ABC's game.
  • 1/2: Part of an hour Maggie spent gloating over the fact that she kicked Jason's ABC trash when she found the letter Z on a license plate. OOOHH YEAH!
  • 37: Number of times Lucy asked if we could go back to Grandma and Grandpa's house.
  • 108: Number of times Maggie complained to Jason about her back hurting. I've got some lower back troubles....I'll save that for another post.
  • 1/3: Graham's portion of a bag of Funyuns. With 100 miles left to get home....we were desperate and Funyuns was our final attempt to shut the kid up or throw him out the window!
  • 2: Number of hours the van moved at 30 mph or less as we drove through Donner Pass and Sacramento. Soooo frustrating!
  • 1: Number of hours we took unpacking. The kids were asleep (blessing sent from above) so we did it in record time.

This morning I'm a little sad about not being with the extended family anymore. It's nice being home in our own space, but I miss waking up and seeing Mom and Dad. I'll post our fun pics later.....stay tuned!

Maggie,
I can't imagine 12 hours. We struggle with the 2 to South Jordan. It was great to see you guys. I just wish you were 12 hours closer.

Sounds like a great trip. I can't imagine doing that trip with kids. 8 1/2 hours from Las Vegas to Lemoore over Thanksgiving with to adults was long enough. We missed you guys and wish would could have gotten in contact with you both while we were all in the great state of Utah together.

see you soon hopefully!!!

You are so funny Mags. Even though it sounded pretty bad, you can still had a humorous note to it!
