We had a whirlwind trip to Utah these last two weeks. It all started when Sam, Daniel and I drove down to visit my parents (Bill had to work). I was really nervous about traveling alone with them, but I timed it so we would leave right after lunch in time for their afternoon naps. Everything was going great, and maybe I was getting a little too cocky because when we got to Ogden, it all fell apart.
Traffic slowed to almost a complete stop because of an accident and suddenly, Sam started screaming. I turned to see what was wrong just in time to see him throw up...twice. Because of the accident, I couldn't get off the freeway for almost 10 minutes. Fortunately, I had just talked to my friend, Sarah and we had arranged for us to stop at their house in Farmington for a little break. I pulled off at the next exit and cleaned Sam up as best as I could and then quickly headed to Sarah's. Sam seemed fine playing with his friend, Drew, so I decided it was just motion sickness. Then, as we were getting ready to leave, Sarah asked if I'd like to take a bucket just in case. A few minutes after she gave it to me, Sam started gagging again and, luckily, I caught it all in the bucket. I threw the boys and all our things in the car and headed to my parents. We hadn't been there more than 20 minutes when he threw up again. So I just got all our stuff from the car and put the boys and me in bed.
I wasn't sure what was wrong with Sam, so we just took it easy Friday and hung out at my parents house. It was my brother, Dan's birthday, so we had a bbq with them and played outside.

My sisters family was also visiting and I took my boys and her kids to the Church History Museum on Saturday. It was pretty crowded, but they still had a great time checking out the children's exhibit.
Sam enjoyed playing with (and putting stickers on) my brother, Dave.
Sunday afternoon I took my boys and two nephews up to Silver Lake near Brighton Resort. I love it up there and the walk around the lake was beautiful.

We also went to Hogle Zoo (forgot my camera), had lunch or dinner with lots of friends and played in the fountain at Gateway. It was a great visit. Bill flew in Tuesday evening (thank heavens!) and we drove down to St. George Wednesday afternoon for the Whitaker family reunion. More pictures to follow...
