Ryan had a field trip today that he didn't want to miss, plus Deni had signed up to go along and help, so I filled in for Deni and went on the field trip with Ryan.
First we went to Springville to a pumpkin patch and he was able to pick out a pumpkin of his choosing. It was freezing outside (about 40 degrees) and raining on and off, not the best time for a field trip. Then we went to a park in American Fork for lunch. They had us get off the bus and eat outside, but because of the wind/rain and temperature, they finally let us back on the bus to finish our lunches.
We then went to "Farm Fresh Days" where the kids learned about farming and ranching. One of the ladies talked about pigs and what pigs are used for. She said, they use pigs to make make-up, so go home and tell your mom's that they have pig on their face. They also had some really cool "sheep" dogs that herded the ducks around the arena we were at. The kids really enjoyed the field trip.
After the field trip, we went home and left for Arizona. This was the first trip that I had ever driven by myself for such a long distance. Dad came over to help me look at my cruise control, which hasn't worked in a while and we found out that it was just a fuse. After fixing that we were on our way to Arizona. We left about 3:19 pm Utah time. The drive is about a 10 hour drive.
Deni's sister, Azure's funeral is on Thursday at 1:00 pm in Heber, AZ, which is why we had to leave after Ryan's school and drive all night until we got there.
I got in about 1:30 am on Thursday, so it took me just under 11 hours. It was a very long drive by myself, one that I don't care to ever do alone if I don't have to.
