Overnight Trip

Saturday morning GC and I decided to make a last minute trip to Boise to bring some items back from my grandmother's house. We decided to take Zach with us and the other three kids stayed here with Uncle Daniel and Aunt Tasha. We've never left our kids before...sure there have been the long hospital stays but GC has ALWAYS been home with the kids when I've had to be gone. It was one of the more difficult things I've done. I knew Bailey and Kaitlyn would have things covered but the thought of being that far away from my kids was killing me. We made excellent time, visited with my grandma and came back the next day with a few of the things she had asked us to have (those of you who know the rest of the story feel free to laugh out loud!) On the way back we had to stop at just about every rest stop..including the one I drove through just to annoy GC and the one we just had to stop at to watch the helicopter scooping up water to put out a wild fire. By 9:00 Sunday night we were ready to drop the truck off at the Budget rental and after going through the checklist GC dropped the keys in the box. Just as we started to drive away he realized he left his phone in the truck. Perhaps if we weren't in Utah we'd have had a chance of finding someone to open it up for us but countless phone calls were not answered and we resorted to a little B&E. With a coat hanger we got from customer service at the nearby Shopko GC fished for over an hour he successfully recovered the keys from the the drop box.
