Trip Back to Utah

This was our last morning in Austin. We finally fulfilled the girls' wish and went up to the 20th floor of the apartment complex. It was a little underwhelming as far as the view went- a construction site and the roof of a Whataburger- but it was still a fun last hurrah in the elevator. The drive was pretty uneventful. We picked up Uncle Jaybob in Flower Mound and he rode with us all the way to Utah. Everybody took a turn being carsick thanks to the windy, mountainous Colorado roads but we didn't end up on any dirt roads so life was good. 

On the stopover at G&G Roueche's house we got to play with them as well as the  Harrises from Houston (Ella, Wyatt and "Baby Brynn". It was an uneventful trip, which is a good thing and our house in Provo was waiting for us when we got back. It was nice to not have to do a total move. 

I didn't realize this totally over the summer but being in the temporary living situation must've been really stressful on all the kids even though we did tons of fun things. As soon as we got back they were all much more relaxed. They were troopers over the summer with all the driving, the sadness of the miscarriage, and having to be quiet all the time in an apartment. We had a lot of fun too and it's hard to say goodbye to summer but we have a good year ahead of us!

We ate at Wendy's a couple times on the trip since most small towns have one. Leona was fascinated with the logo. She kept pointing to it and saying, "Princess Hairdo!" So there you go if you're looking for a fancy updo go for pigtails.
