We woke up to Raine talking and blowing bubbles in her pack-n-play; Reece shouts, “Raine’s awake guys!” He was sleeping on an air mattress at the end of the bed. We grab both kids and snuggled for a whole 5 minutes. Reece wanted to go wake up Brian. When we looked at the time it was 7:30am; that would be 6:30 Vegas time. Reece was right on schedule for rise & shine time. Why is it little people don’t sleep in? We showered and ate breakfast on the back deck. The coffee and company was so relaxing. Reece and Mo took a walk in a creek and Reece came back covered in mud. We stripped him down and hosed him off. Brian and Kara had to head to work so we started to gather our gear and get ready for the next leg of our journey. I had to run into the post office to mail some very over due packages. Mo took the kids into this really great furniture store. Mo filled the tank half way because gas was a whopping $3.22! We were on the road by 11:00am; our goal was to get to Denver in time for a late dinner with our friends Cindie & Terry. We saw a lot of beautiful scenery as we drove out of Utah. Mo likes to point it all out to us. Reece saw a lot of horses. He would even point them out to us. He was such a good boy. He likes to snack on our yummy treats. We learned our lesson about changing diapers earlier than later. When we arrived in Park City he had such a wet diaper we had to pull his whole car seat apart and wash it all in the washing machine. Thank goodness we were at someone’s home so we could do so. Now we change diapers every time we get gas. On our way through Wyoming we stopped in Rock Springs at a Harley Davidson Motorcycle shop for my dad. We got gas and had a bite to eat. Reece loved sitting on all the big motorcycles. He was able to run around a bit and stretch his legs. Once back in the truck he wanted to watch a movie. We are big fans of our portable DVD player! While driving through Wyoming we saw tons of prong horn creatures, sort of look like deer. Mo annoyingly pointed them out while I was reading. “Ya babe, I see it!” We also saw lot so Texas long horn bulls. Reece would make the MOOOO sound and ask the cows if they could hear him. It was so cute. We made one more stop in Cheyenne to fill up the gas tank and get on route 25 heading south to Denver. We made it to the Standlee household at 8:00 pm. It was still light out so we hung out on the front porch for a while. Terry was watering his lawn so Lucy and Reece ran through the sprinkler. It was so fun watching them enjoy each other. After some great catching up with our friends; we got a good night’s sleep.
