Last Thursday I took off for a fast quick long road trip. I was returning and picking up children and cousins. With Hannah, Paula and Sarah we went to Boise and picked up Emma. After that we travel to Utah and dropped off Hannah and Emma and slept the night at Grandma Long's house. We got up about 8:30 got ready and headed to Iona Idaho for the rockwood reunion. We celebrated Aunt Betty's 80th birthday and Barb's 50th birthday. It was good to see every one. We caravanned with Laura, grandpa Long, DJ, Ben,and Jackson in one car. I had Grandma Long, Devan , Sarah, and Paula. All the kids were way bored because they didn't know anyone. They weren't too thrilled about not having a day about them. Too bad, so sad.
When the afternoon in the park was done, Grandma Long ditched us and went home with Kay and Paul. The rest of us went visiting. Bruce and Jen came up on there new motorcycle. We all ended up at Gaylyn and Nancy's. We played and let the kids splash in the pool then went to the cemeteries where Grandma and Grandpa Madsen and Grandma and Grandpa Long were buried. I loved the location of the Ammon cemetery, it's up on a hill overlooking Ammon.
After visiting the cemeteries we stopped by Ann and Fenton's house. Fenton must have Alzheimer's, he had a lot of vacant-ness in him. Daryl met us and as we watched the fireworks. Idaho Falls did a very good job with them. They had many different tempos and music and a narrative to go with it.
That night we went to Pocatello and spent the night. In the morning Laura and her car went to Promitary Point and we headed home. I was so tired of traveling on little sleep that I was in bed with an hour of being home and slept for 11 hours and wanted more but church won and I got up went.
By the time we were done traveling we had put 1600 miles on the car.
