The Bus Adventure

My dad usually finds a way to be mostly, if not completely, absent during our trips to Utah. He takes a bussing job or something and is just...gone. Well, not this time. He showed up to every event (and was the only one at Julie's to welcome us after our long drive--huge treat to have Grampy all to ourselves like that for an entire evening!).

On Friday he pulled up to Charlotte's house ready to take everybody for a bus ride. I've posted before about how much Maggie loves buses. This was heaven for her (and for me, really).

There was a lot of laughing and talking. Everyone was just in such a good mood. Grampy would take corners fast and try to hit all the bumps to show us the full bus ride effect.

Ellen was at work but the rest of the sisters were present. Me, Julie, Charlotte. We left Randy back at Chars house to surf the internet since we can't get him plus wheelchair on the bus (not handicapped accessible). I know he would have liked to join us.

We took a nice drive down to Utah Lake. I hadn't been since high school so it was interesting to see it and all the improvements that have been made. It was really pretty!

Grammy actually came and enjoyed it all. Grammy!!

A newly purchased toilet seat was on hand for Grampy to make jokes. Maggie got the strangest look on her face when he did this.

On our way home from the lake. Isn't this a pretty picture of the mountains from a distance?? I like Colorado but it doesn't compare in my mind.

There was a couple of bulls hanging out in a field. Grampy quickly pulled right up next to one on the road and opened the bus door a few feet from it! So funny. Maggie got a big kick out of staring at it with huge eyes.
