<\/p>\nEveryone was a little worn out by this point.\u00a0 Ben had a few side-interest stops, but over and over the vote was to just keep moving.\u00a0 We did stop for gas and ride a dino \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And we made sure to visit some family.\u00a0 The Martha and Ronnie welcomed us to their home for a rest.\u00a0 They have a beautiful home right next to the mountain with a grand view of the Salt Lake (sadly mostly obscured by smoke with all these wildfires).\u00a0 We had a delicious brunch spread and Jack and Sam got to meet all four of their cats.\u00a0 It was great to see Josh and Jill too, who were headed to university in just a few days.<\/p>\n

We blazed past SLC, the boys barely looking up from their tablets to see the temples whenever I pointed them out.\u00a0 A final stop in American For for drinks, fries, and extra fry sauce, before buckling in for the long haul to Grand Junction.\u00a0 \u00a0 We saw some actual fire in the mountains as we went through the canyon.\u00a0 The worker’s at the Solider Summit gas stop said they were on stand by for evacuation.\u00a0 Mom said that they ended up shutting down the high just 1 1\/2 hours after we passed through.\u00a0 Whew!\u00a0 Glad we made it safely!<\/p>\n

A quick stop for melons in Green River, then we rolled into Grand Junction about 8 pm.\u00a0 Still time to let the kids jump in the pool!<\/p>\n
Going through my phone, I didn’t seem to take any pictures the rest of the trip.\u00a0 It was a short but normal visit.\u00a0 Mom made crepes for breakfast.\u00a0 Dad had the day off so he got to be abused with water guns all morning.\u00a0 The kids swam until we dragged them out, then got to play even more with Grandma Betty.<\/p>\n
We left in the afternoon for a relatively quick jaunt over the mountains.\u00a0 Being a Monday we had little traffic.\u00a0 We listened to Ramona and Beezus stories told by Stockard Channing and Sam napped off and on.\u00a0 We stopped in Edwards to recover from some car sickness, adventuring down into the rocks.\u00a0 We made in home to a clean and quiet house in time for their usual bedtime at 8pm.\u00a0 What a trip!<\/p>\n
