On Friday night we drove from Layton to Rexburg. On our way there...we passed my sister's car broken down on the side of the road. They had just broken down about 5 minutes before we passed them. Caleb recognized their car and we stopped to help them out. I took Melanie and the boys in my car and we continued on to Rexburg. Caleb and Ben stayed with their car and my dad came and met them to take care of the car and to bring them to Rexburg. I am so glad we noticed them on the side of the road and we were able to help them. Poor Mel was having a rough day and this was the last thing she wanted to deal with.
My mom rented a bus/van and driver for us to travel the rest of the way to Montana. This way we all didn't have to take so many cars and we didn't all have to drive. It was a lot of fun and so nice to just sit back and relax. We got into Helena that afternoon and went to the birthday party for my grandpa. He's not a man of a lot of emotion, but I could tell he really enjoyed the party. He was glad to have everyone there together and visit. After the party, we just went to the hotel and relaxed, swum (is that right?) and had dinner.
On Sunday we got up early and went to church with Grandpa. A cute little man in the crowd got up to bear his testimony and mentioned my Grandpa and what a great man he was. It was fun to hear about grandpa in church. After church we loaded up and headed back to Rexburg.
When we got to Rexburg, we had some dinner and then Caleb and I headed back to Layton.
It was a short trip, but we had a good time and it was fun to be there for my grandpa. It was fun to see cousins and aunts and uncles that we don't get to see very often as well.

It was a long ride for you and Caleb but I am so glad you could make it. It was fun to all go together.
Sounds like a quick and fun trip. Where is a picture of the transportation?
