Brianhead - Day 1

Technically this was day 2 - but the first day consisted of driving and eating.  The drive was quite crazy.  We made it about 2 hours out and Jan's car made a funny sound so we pulled over and found she was missing a belt (or 2...) So she was going to get it fixed and rather than have her stay in a tiny little place alone Todd stayed with her.  So the kids and I drove to Vegas and picked up Adam.  We were going to wait there but they were about 2 hours behind so we just pushed on.  The directions I had for getting to the cabin from the south took me up a canyon 20 minutes to find a closed snowed in road.  So I turned around and went another 20 miles up the freeway to take a different route.  Unfortunately, between having Tayson as a co-pilot and my lack of being able to understand the crazy directions I got lost again.  I got a hold of Steve and he gave me good directions so I finally made it to the cabin.  Almost 10 hours in the car with me and 5 kids wasn't the best way to start the vacation.  A good meal and fun games made it all better though.

Todd M. got up early to get a little fishing done in the freezing cold water.  He caught 3 fish but didn't keep them because he wasn't sure if my dad was serious or not when he said he'd clean them if Todd caught them.  We still aren't sure if he was serious or not.

Grandma got to get in on the fun too.

After 2 hours of tubing we headed to the lodge for lunch.  It was crazy with all those kids!
