Utah/Idaho Trip Part 1

Wes has been bugging me to go on a trip to Utah and Idaho since before we got married. Most of his family lives in either Utah or Idaho and he really wanted to introduce Reid to them.  I kept putting him off but he put his foot down this December because he ended up getting the whole month off for his vacation and decided the time had come.  I was pretty skeptical especially traveling with a 6 month old but I thought I should be a good sport and gave the OK. We decided that it would be best if we broke the trip up into three parts so we wouldn't have to do so much driving at once and we could see the most people.  The first part of the trip was to Spring City, UT where his paternal grandparents live.  It is a really small town by Manti and Ephraim if anyone was wondering. 

As we were getting ready to go I was shocked at the amount of stuff that we were bringing.  I had no idea that one little person would require so much stuff! It was a bit ridiculous but we ended up fitting everything into the car.  We decided to drive at night so that Reid could sleep and we wouldn't have to stop as much to feed him.  It ended up being a great plan because we only had to stop to feed him twice in 10 hours and he slept beautifully the rest of the time.  The only problem was that when we got there Wes and I hadn't slept all night and Reid was ready to play.

We spent two days in Spring City and did some fun things. Wes' grandpa has a side by side four wheeler and so we took that out for a spin.  Reid loved it!  He just couldn't stop looking at everything and we got to see sheep and deer.  It was also the first time that he got to see snow.  I didn't really want him to touch it because he is still little and I didn't want him to get too cold but he did get to see a lot of it! Everytime we took it out he ended up falling fast asleep because it was just too much fun.  The only problem that we ended up having was a small trip to the ER due to a UTI that I got on the trip.  It was pretty painful but once I got some anitbiotics I felt all better.  All in all it was a great start to our trip and it is always fun to see the grandparents and watch them fall in love with Reid.
