Quick Trip

6:30pm Jas, Owen and I drove to Orem to get freeze dry food for Jason's backpacking trip next week. All the food did not get ordered in time so Jason had to go down and pick it up. We got to the store, got all the food, loaded up and decided we could not be in Orem and not go see my sis and her fam in Spanish Fork, even though it was 9 o'clock. So we made a quick stop at Target and then headed to Spanish Fork. It was going to be a big surprise arrival and they were going to be so excited to see us and so the fact that it was going to be a really late night and we both had to be up at 6am didn't even matter. We got to Spanish Fork hit the drive through at Barry's and were on our way to the Cope's. We turned the corner and the house was dark. There was a small amount of hope because we could see the TV was on in one of the bedrooms. No cars were in the driveway. NO Copes were home!!! We were so sad. Our big surprise was not working out the way we hoped. Ang's phone went straight to voice mail. We ate our dinner on a blanket in their front yard and jumped on their trampoline a little bit and then headlights appeared around the corner. Rich, Alex and Max were home. I guess Ang and Lexa were at camp and were going to be home late. So, our surprise worked out and we had a fun(short) visit with the boys. Maxwell things he is the Hulk and rips his shirt off and growls and attacks. He is so crazy! Torrential downpours, thunder and lightning kept us awake most the way home. It was some fierce weather. Thank goodness Owen slept through it(i have no idea how). It was a lot of driving for one night!


Sitting on the front porch, so sad no one's coming to the door.

Eating dinner and killing time.

Yay!!! Alex is home!
