Happy Birthday Grandpa!

A few weeks ago we headed down to St. George for Grandpa Coons 90th birthday. There were lots of games, food, and catching up with cousins. And cousins babies! So crazy seeing my "little" cousins having kids now! For such a quick trip, we sure kept it eventful. On the way down, the girls kept saying they had to go to the bathroom. But they'd wait until we had passed an exit and didn't have another for 45 minutes. We pulled over on the side of the freeway multiple times, but "it just wouldn't work."  Then the last night the kids were playing outside and caught a toad. Strider put it in a cup with a small hole cut in the top and about gave me a heart attack when I looked in and it jumped up at me. Then he wanted to take it to the church to show everyone at the party. When we were getting ready to go back to the condo, he put the cup in the car so he could let it go back where he found it. After we said goodbye to everyone, we got in the car, but the cup was empty. It was too dark to see so we searched the van the best we could, but didn't see it so hoped it had hopped out when the doors were open. Jodi and I still drove with our feet in the air to be safe. The next morning they emptied out the entire van, seats and all, and found our little friend!
