Day 1....Travel day

I know that I am so so far behind on blogging this summer...So here is a small head start. On Monday July 28th we headed out to a family reunion in Southern Utah. That sounds easy enough. We left bright and early to get out to Cory's sisters house since we would all be driving together. So we were off , well as we get to Forest Lake to get the 2 camp trailers, we had a small problem. As many of you know my father in law he never has to back into the trailer more than once. So he backed in, heard it click, put in the pin and started to pull forward. CRASH!!!! As the 5th Wheel dropped onto the bed of the truck. I think we were all a little sick. Cory and his Dad hurried and jacked it up for try 2. And yes there is a dent on both sides of the truck bed... So we were soon off and running, a little rain here and there but so far so good. Then came the wind and the traffic, did I mention the construction delay before Lake Powell? Ya that was fun with 3 cars. 2 trailers and 11 kids...What should have taken 9 hours ended up taking 12....Yes 12. We pulled into camp with a little rain but we were soon getting tents up and making beds. Could have been a worse 1st day.
