Welcome to my official Birthday party…in the canyon…that I love almost as much as these awesome people.

But not quite.

In truth, as much as I love the canyon…

I actually love these people…

a billion…

times…

more.

Ok, a trillion.

Easy.

Now that we’ve established how much I love my sweet family,  I still have to say…

look at this beautiful scenery!!

Even with the sleepy girl, haha.

The canyon in the fall is the most beautiful place with the changing leaves…

the chilly river…

and the gorgeous mountains.

And all I have to do is sit here and love it all.

Which is amazingly easy.

Families are forever and I’m so grateful.

Birthday Breakfast

Yes, yes–today is my birthday, however…

this month, Lyndi and I both had birthdays. So THAT means we each got a free coupon for a waffel of our choice from Waffel Love!!

Wa-dang-HOOOO!

Lyndi wisely chose a Peach Cobbler Waffel.

Of course we took Laurie with us because she is awesome even though her birthday is in February.

She chose the grilled cheese waffel and tomato soup. I have to say, I was a bit jealous.

Sweet? Savory? Sweet?

Now hear this. As long as there are fresh peaches in Utah–they are going to win…

EVERY time.

Yum. Yum. YUM!!

Happy birthday to…some of us!!

Heh-heh.

Jillian and Rhen came to help me set up which made all this possible.

Here we go!!!

It turned out to be a lovely day.

This really could be my kind of thing.

Road Trip-Day 7 The End

Our very last hotel breakfast for this trip. To be honest, I’ve loved it.

Any time you can have food magically appear first thing in the morning–I’m certainly a fan!

Back in the car for a whollllllle bunch more of this…

and this helped.

Awww the stamina building power of ice cream!

Of course this was a welcome site.

But this one…

was…

WAY better!! Wahoooooooo!

We’re home!!!

I’ll tell you what–THIS girl is an absolute CHAMP! She drove the whole time and acted like she knew just where she was going. I am SO proud of her and her incredible bravery…

and life saving sense of direction. Heh, heh.

No kidding. She is amazing.

The kitties were all glad to see me. Dali was thrilled.

Lyla was extatic.

And Hobbes…ok, Hobbes had to act cool but I choose to believe he missed me.

Home again. Home again.

Jiggety jog.

Road Trip- Day 6 Heading Home

Ok, this is my LEAST favorite thing about roadtrips….

having to say good-bye to a big chunk of my heart.

Ooooh, I’m going to miss this sweet guy…

and his family….SO, so much.

The cousins will miss each other too. It was just all so dang FUN!!

It’s so strange to drive away from these guys who just lived down the road a few months ago. Kind of awful, actually. Feels like we should all be going “home” together.

Deep breaths. Deep breaths.

Good-bye sweet family—I love you!!
