On Wednesday we decided to hop in the car and drive to Utah on Thursday. Yes, we decided the day before. Cailey and Scott had Monday (the 19th) off and I had a really funky feeling that we needed to visit Scott's Grandma Colleen. GG Colleen (as Ben refers to her) has never met Ben and Cailey was only 2-ish the last time GG Colleen saw her. We haven't had a chance to visit so many relatives that live in Utah and it was about time we made the trek. Grandma K was able to go with us, too! We left Thursday evening and arrived at GG Colleen's house at about 2:30a. It was an okay drive, except that part where Scott got a speeding ticket...again. Yes, Scott got a ticket for going 75 in a 65...not so bad, really. But, the police officer was trying to look for every reason to add to our ticket ~ checked all the lights intensely, even asked if our kids were in car seats! Yeah, duh!...and shined his flash light in Ben's sleeping face...and woke Ben up. I was irritated with the cop, he wasn't being very nice. I teased that he was mad because I have University of Colorado Alumni license plates...and we were just outside Laramie. Maybe he was just being a jerk.
We seriously surprised GG Colleen and spent several days visiting all sorts of family.
Friday: We had lunch at a popular beef/chicken place on the way to Logan...but I can't remember the name of it. It was yummy food. Then we drove to Logan to visit the land investment we have with Scott's sisters ~ there is big promise in that land investment!!! Whoo-hoo! This is a picture of the view near our land ~ look how beautiful the mountains look. This was even a cloudy day, so you can imagine the way it looks on a clear day. So pretty.
Saturday: We went to breakfast at The Oaks, a restaurant up the Ogden Canyon. It's so beautiful and had lots of snow. The restaurant food was yummy and GG Colleen got to see Ben eat sausages ~ it's a fun experience to see Ben eat sausages. I found out at breakfast that morning that GG Colleen is almost 80 years old and has never had a pedicure or manicure. That's just not right. So, the girls all headed to the nail salon for GG Colleen's very first pedicure and manicure. Saturday night was spent eating homemade spaghetti (YUM!) with Scott's Uncle and Aunt and cousins. Ben was thrilled to have little cousin Riley come and visit. Baby Boston (3 months old!) was so cute! We enjoyed seeing family and spending time getting to know some of the family again.
Sunday: We spent the morning taking it easy. Poor GG Colleen has been run ragged and her back was hurting her pretty bad. So, it was a good rest day for GG Colleen and Grandma Kathryn while we went south to Scott's cousins from his dad's family. We got to visit with Aunt Vicki, Cousin Steve and his family (Lisa, Adam, Alyssa, Eric, & Brittany), Cousin Wendy and her family (Doug, Josh, Jacob, Alexis, and Taylor). They made us a wonderful late lunch ~ complete with a chocolate fountain!!!! Then we met Andres, Olivia, and Lexi for dinner. I was only sad that we didn't get to spend more time talking and laughing with everyone. Such a great visit.

Monday: We left for our long drive home. We enjoyed seeing GG Colleen and we hope she can make it out to Denver soon for a visit!
