Off to Laramie we go

We finally made it down to Laramie to visit with Carissa and Quitin and Tyler and Cami.  I know, "It's about time!"   We went down on Friday and the drive was great.  The roads were decent and the kids were really good.  I was a little worried about Kaitlyn since she is in undies full time now, but we stopped in Douglas and used the potty and she did great.  Keith did really well too.  He slept all the way with a few times that he would wake up and talk for a bit, then back off to dreamland.  We even saw a coyote trotting across the snowy plain just after getting out of Sybil Canyon.  Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough with the camera. 

We arrived that afternoon just in time to go eat some dinner.  We all (Carissa, Quitin, Tyler, Cammi, and our clan) loaded up (again in our case) and headed to The Library.  They have wonderful sweet potato fries and a pretty good brisket sandwich.  Good food, good company, and thankfully good kids. 

Keith had a rough couple of nights.  He woke up congested and having a hard time breathing through his nose.  I had to get up and walk around with him a few times, but did eventually get some sleep. 

Quitin had also fixed the PS3 (Thank you so much!) by putting a new hard drive in it.  So they took the PS3 over to Tyler's appartment to test it out.  So far so good.  Jordan even had to test it out when we got home.  Thank heavens it still seems to work. 

We went to lunch at McAllisters.  I was so excited to hear that they have a McAllisters.  Laramie is moving up in the world.  I had my favorite, the Muffaleta with potato salad and of course their famous sweet tea.  Love it!  Thanks Carissa for the wonderful lunch!

The Boys and Cami went to the Laramie vs. BYU boys basketball game.  Of course Laramie ended up losing.  Carissa and I stayed at home with the kids.  We talked, played a little Wii and then went to the grocery store for cupcake essentials.  Just after getting back the basketball game had finished and everyone came home.   Had Little Caesars for dinner and then stayed up waaaaay too late playing Wii.  I never thought playing a video game would make my arm hurt so much.  I'm still a little stiff.

We came back home on Sunday after having a little breakfast at Tyler and Cami's.  Thanks for the great breakfast guys.  Kaitlyn also helped Carissa make some cupcakes and got to eat one just before we left.  The drive back was ok.  The roads were a little more snowy than on the way down, but we made it home safely.  We were all glad to be back home and in our own beds, but we enjoyed our time with family.

Thanks again Carissa and Quitin for everything, a place to stay, food, and fixing the PS3.  Thanks Tyler and Cami for breakfast and for hanging out.  We can't wait to see you guys again!
