4th Of July Trip

So we left for Utah on the 3rd at 3am and made it to Vegas about 7 when we stopped for gas Paul noticed smoke coming out of the car and looked to find our oil was leaking so after driving to four different shops we found someone to look at are car and they found the problem and fixed it pretty quick. Back on the road and coming into St. George the car started chugging like it wasn't getting any gas when we were exiting the freeway the car died on the off ramp so we sat for a few and got it started again we decided to try and trade it in for a new car cause there was a dealership right there. After test driving and running numbers we came to the conclusion that it wouldn't work out so plan B was find a mechanic and a car rental. after a half hour of phone calls we dropped a car off at a shop and the rental car place picked us up then we spent another 2 hours trying to rent a car ( everything you could think of went wrong) finally we got back on the road at about 6 and arrived at Missi's around 9! So much for getting there early all though we were happy to get there at all!On the 4th we went to the parade in Provo!
The kids really enjoyed the parade! And after ward we had lunch and went back to Missi's for a nap in the evening Everyone went to Mike and Kelliann's for a fabulous BBQ a soggy water Fight and some super fire works! Kenlee was mesmerised by the sparkler!
