Ah – Snowbird! It was the destination of our week long trip to Utah at the beginning of the month. What is in store for us? What is there to do? Who all are we going to see? Do I have to do homework while we are gone? These are some of the questions that were posed while making preparations for the vacation (?).
We began our delayed journey on Fri. the 3rd (keep in mind, this is also the day that we took Scooter to the vet with a broken leg, and also the infamous day of the security system trial run). When a vacation starts out like this, what more fun is there to be had?! We managed to make it to Jerome about 2:00 am to spend the rest of the dark hours at my parents’ house (they were already in UT). The anticipation must have been too much, as Tommy & Ryan were awake by 9:00 am and felt the need to make sure Monique & I were also awake. They and the two girls (Wendy and her friend Camille) managed to find some breakfast. First they found my dad’s Klondike Bars and thought that would make a great breakfast – an idea that I quickly nixed. Cereal was a much better option! After another few hours, a longer than necessary potty break (thanks Ryan!) and a torrential downpour, we finally made it to Salt Lake City! We had a quick lunch at Wendy's with these four little characters....

And then finally arrived at our home for the week! Mom & Dad Robinson were able to join us for a couple of days, and we all had a great time. Thanks Mom & Dad for all of the great food!
The kids did have a great time (and so did we). Very relaxing. The kids enjoyed the swimming pool, the game room, sleeping in, and the hottub on the balcony. We ate, slept, shopped, went to the planetarium, visisted with friends, rode the tram and had a great time.
After the fun-filled week, we were able to experience the first snow storm of the year. Just after crossing the UT-ID border, we were in the middle of the storm - cars were off the side of the road everywhere! It wasn't until after we got back home that we found out the interstate was actually closed after we got through! Fortunately, my brother Lonnie had cheesecake for us when we got to his house!
