Vacation Day 1 - Logan Utah

Our vacation started by driving from Federal way, Wa to Logan, Utah. The kids were great and we actually enjoyed the trip up until the last hour when Sariah was screaming and we got lost.
One good thing about having been in the military for so long is that the world becomes a much smaller place and you always know someone somewhere. We were very lucky to be able to stay in Logan, Utah with Chrissy and her children. The Roeckers were the only ones that were in Germany for longer than we were. They were there before we got there and left a few montsh after we did. I remember when chrissy was pregnant with Eliza and then Daniel. Since then she has had another boy, Rainey. In Germany Eliza and Isaac were great friends and it was nice to see them resume this friendship so easily. I am so very glad that we got to spend a little bit of time with their family. She even made us breakfast every morning we were there! Thanks Chrissy!!!! The next morning we drove to Salt Lake to do some tourist things and ended up spending the whole day at the church museum across the street from the Temple. We then tried to eat at the "Blue Iguana", but it was closed. Apparently "Pioneer day" is a state holiday in Utah, who would have thought? We went back to Logan and joined Chrissy and her family at a neighborhood BBQ complete with fireworks and all. The newest additions to our families. Sariah and Rainey. This pic is a good example of how small Sariah is or how big Rainey is. She is about four months older than he is.

It was so much fun having you here. Liza keeps talking about it. We got to experience Utah's version of pioneer day together for the first time. Great fun. Glad you made it home safely. Can't wait to see the rest of the trip photos.
