Gateway adventure!

My friend Katie and I are so much a like. When we get something in our heads, their isn't much you can do to stop us! We decided on a whim that we really needed to hit baby Gap...the closest one is in Salt Lake. No problem, we'll just pack the kiddos in and hit the children's museum and fountains along the way...sounds easy right?! We headed down with five kids, all under the age of 5. The trip included 2 meals, (both of them in the car...try sending 4 kids meals back without spilling and without hitting your head on the hanging DVD screen in the mean time) the Mantua cop...and every other cop from here to SL, a hungry baby, a DVD screen hanging down just right so that every time I tried to turn around I hit my head, climbing in the back of the YUKON at least 5 times to fetch a kids meal toy that had fallen, buckling three very secure booster seats from the back (props to Katie who did this 4 times!) Parking a Yukon in a parking space suited for a Mazda Miata, walking from one end of Gateway to the other all for a Pretzel at Pretzel Maker that no longer exists, having to pass "Build A Bear" without going in, squeezing 7 people out of one side of the car because we were so close to the wall you couldn't open the door...the list goes on and on. Every time Katie and I get together their is always excitement! Thanks for the constant fun "Kathy"! Carver fillin' up the car
