The first day of our family trip wasn’t too long. We just went from our house to Grand Junction. We stopped for sandwiches in Price and went in circles for a minute following dad to get back on the freeway. Mom forgot the food and the pan for what we were going to eat at the park that night, so we ordered pizza and ate by the hotel pool. The kids were totally fine with that, go figure. We ran into a HUGE dist storm right before we got into Grand Junction and were all lucky enough to come out without any accidents. We couldn’t see in front or behind or to the side for probably at least 100 yards, it was pretty scary. My first impulse was to slow down, but then I was worried about the vehicles behind us running into us, so we tried to pull over to the side and drove on the shoulder until we got out of it. When we got out, there were semi’s and cars spun out and in a mess on the other side of the road, so we were lucky that none of us got hurt. Scary way to start the trip, so we were glad we had said prayers before we left. Uncle Kyle met and visited with us at the hotel that night as well. The kids had a blast playing in the pool and the boys were all excited that they got a hotel room to themselves (with Uncle Greg, becuase he is the “cool uncle”.)
