Utah!

We had a wonderful trip to Utah last week. Mom had decided to go with us - it was really nice to have her along! We started out Friday morning. Mom sat in the back and did her best to entertain Elijah. Yes, we drove all the way there - much to Elijah's dismay. Well, he didn't mind the driving so much. It was the carseat he didn't like. Friday night - just outside Denver - I was driving and the car started to wobble as if the wheels were trying to go all different directions. Mom called Dad to see what he thought. Jeremy checked everything he could think of, but didn't see anything wrong. The wobbling persisted as we drove in to the Denver area so we decided to call Kim and see if we could crash at her place and get the car checked out in the morning. Kim and Dennis started thinking of problems they thought could cause the wobbling but nothing sounded right to Jeremy.
Early the next morning we woke to the crash of one of Kim's five big cats jumping on to the edge of Elijah's bed (made the packnplay hit the wall). Then Jeremy got dressed and decided to test out a hunch he had. None of us remembered the car wobbling on the streets of Aurora. So he took the car for a drive and sure enough - it only wobbled on that one highway. So we piled back into the car and went on our way.
We got to Grandma and Grandpa's house about 7:00 Saturday evening.




Elijah got to try some new foods! Mashed potatoes, yams, a tiny bit of icecream, french fries, and frenh bread - and a couple candy sticks to pacify him in the car.



He really liked Grandpa after he got over the oxygen hose scare.




And Grandma helped him practice rolling over.


Monday night we went to a condo on Bear Lake. We explored the valley a little. We found the place where Gutzon Borglum was born (St. Charles, Idaho). We went on a hike to a natural spring in Paris, Idaho! It was beautiful! Near the spring, we saw a sign pointing towards an ice cave. We thought that sounded pretty cool (teehee) so we decided to check it out. The road was long and very bumpy. We started to think it might not even be worth it. But we got there and I was satisfied with just what we found on the surface!





We were pretty excited when we saw what was waiting at the bottom of the hill. But Elijah needs to go home and I've got laundry to take care of. So ------

To be cont.? Really? You haven't continued it? Why not? Where's the rest? Should I come up with more questions?
