A visit to P.R.O.P.

Big news my friends- it seems we may be heading down to the People’s Republic of PRICE sooner rather than later.  That’s right, we have finally found a home to rent, although it may be somewhat temporary, its at least something for now.  Also, we have found renters for our home here in M.G., so things finally seem to be falling into place!  We took the kids down on Friday to show them their new digs and made a fun (and incredibly LONG) day of it.

First we had to let the kids get out their wiggles after a 2 1/2 hour car ride, so we grabbed a bucket o’ KFC & went to the DINO-MINE park.  This was Noodle’s highlight of the day.  I was not bright enough to take pictures at this point, so here is a stock photo of said park.

After winning the parents of the year award by letting our children get remarkably sunburned, we headed over to show the kids the house. 

Once again, I have stolen this photo off the internet, from the house’s MLS listing.  Its for sale, so hopefully it doesn’t sell too quick, or we’ll be out on the street again.  It will be a great house for us.  We are so excited to have finally found something that wasn’t…… well, scary.

Our kids, however, are a little bratty, and need to work on their manners.  The first words out of Kenni’s mouth were, “Where is all the grass?” (There’s not any).  Boy, does she have a lot to learn about P-rice.

At this point, I was wishing I did just go ahead & rent a trailer down by the river because my kids could use the wake-up call.

Anywho- next Seth took us for a drive through his mountains to show the kids what their daddy does for work.  We stopped at a “Manti-Lasal National Forest sign” and I made him pose by it so it could go in his life history book.  You should all go and take a picture of your hubby at his job.  It sounds funny, but years from now, he’ll appreciate it!

The section of forest we drove through was so, so beautiful and there were tons of great areas for camping this summer.  It actually got me a little excited to live there for awhile.

When we got to the summit, the kids were so excited to discover that there was still a TON of snow in the mountains.  We stopped up on this high plateau that didn’t have any trees or anything.  It just looked like marshmellow cream for as far as the eye could ski, oops, i mean, see.

So, after our extremely long & scenic drive the kids were starting to get restless, and hungry again, so our last stop on the way home was In-N-Out burger in American Fork (or wherever the heck we were).  YUM.

We rolled back into M.G. around 9:00 p.m. feeling like we’d been on the road for about a week, instead of one meager day.  I was so pooped.  When we got home, Sparky showed me his art project he had made at school and I dissolved into tears. 

What a sweetie.  This broke my heart.  No matter how temporary it is, I will miss this place more than anything.  There is TRULY no place like home.  (And no, Price will never be my home, just a rest stop along the highway of life).  MOUNTAIN GREEN FOREVER!  We should write some kind of anthem, eh?
