We decided to leave for Wy Sat. morning instead of Sun. because the weather channel said that there was a storm coming Sat. night. We left around noon and got up to Evanston Wy, when they closed the freeway down. We were stuck there for around 4 hours, and let me tell you that there is not a whole lot to do there. The kids however had a blast playing in(whats that called, oh yeah, snow)! Madi loved it, she couldn't get enough of it, and was sad when we had to get back into the car. We got back on the road and everything was going o.k. for about an hour when the real fun started. Semi trucks were everywhere, there was black ice everywhere and lots and lots of wind. My kids thought we were going to die! They have never seen this kind of weather and it was freaking them out! Curt asked me to say a prayer, and after I did, it seemed to calm them down. At one point we were on;y going around 20 miles an hour, very scary to drive through a blizzard! Needless to say, we decided that we had enough of driving for the night and we got a hotel room with our cousins. The best was the next morning when Max woke up he said, "Where the heck am I". He was a little confused since he fell asleep in the car and therefore he had no idea that we got a hotel room. The kids thought it was cool that all 8 of us shared a hotel room, one big slumber party!
