Vacation

We made it to Ohio! We left from Las Vegas on the night of the 18th. Thanks to our friends Holly and Andy for giving us a ride to the airport. We made it there three hours early. We were worried about long lines because the airport had been closed the day before due to snow. Apparently, it hasn't snowed in Las Vegas for thirty years. Crazy. We had a few snow days in St George as well. The kids were dying to play in the snow but I hadn't got their snow coats yet so I promised when they got to Grandma and Papa's they could. The kids did really well on the flight. They slept through most of it. I was so happy they did well and know our prayers were answered. We flew into Detroit and rented a car there to drive to Defiance, Ohio where Jerry's parents live. He was born in Michigan and all of his extended family still lives there but moved to Ohio when he was 11. That's why most of the time he just tells people he is from Michigan. So we got to the airport just after a HUGE snowstorm started. We spent hours at the rental place waiting to get a car....well, trying to upgrade to something that could drive in the snow or we wouldn't make it to Ohio. We finally got on the road and it took much longer to get here because of all the snow. We went between 20 and 40 miles per hour most of the time. We are so glad we made it safely. Grandma and Papa spent lots of time preparing for us and had everything in perfect order. We are having a great time and FREEZING!
