There is no one like Grandma.
My friend and I hopped in her mini van and drove to UT. Best idea ever. Exhausting? Yes. Worth it? Of course. The drive out the kids did fabulous. We made it 14 hours the first day. Leaving only 7 ( yes I used the word only) for day two. Of course being in Salt Lake with family and friends was wonderful and was a great break from the Minnesota winter. The way back - everyone was a little tired . . . making the drive seem longer than it did before. But when we returned the snow drifts had melted and we've been outside in the sunshine the past two days. What is it about the sun that makes life so much happier? Those 2 1/2 weeks flew by, but they were much much needed for this tired PREGNANT mom that I am. Yes, we are expecting baby number 3 at the end of October! What a blessing.
