Eden, Ripkin and Traveling on the Wrong Side of the Freeway.

Eden.



We were lucky enough to spend some time at Danny and Sabrena's summer home in Eden, UT. Well, it is actually Danny's parent's, Dave and Stevie's, summer home. I wish I would've taken more pictures. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We took the kids for a ride on the boat, we played at the playground, we watched Nemo on the biggest standing television I've ever seen and we even played a game with Danny and Sabrena- which almost never happens because they both seem to be allergic to board games.

Witkin.

Everything was absolutely perfect- well, except for Ripkin. Ripkin is Danny's parents dog. He is sweet and loving, but is about 15 feet tall and Miles is more than terrified of him as he is all other dogs. Miles didn't even want to be on the same floor as him. When we left Eden we didn't hear any more about Ripkin until yesterday at about 9 pm- three weeks later.

There we were just sitting at the table and Miles was sort of looking off into space.

Miles: I sorry I scared of Witkin (Ripkin).

Dave and I get surprised looks on our faces. Ripkin? Why were you thinking about Ripkin?

David: Thats ok. He's not here.

Miles: Yeah, he's not here. He is at Stevie's.

Stevie's? We didn't even know he knew who Stevie was let alone that Ripkin was Stevie's dog. He is such a little genius. I mean, I really think that he is a genius.

The On-ramp.

Get a load of this:



This is the result of the freeway being closed from Bountiful to Salt Lake. Just straight up closed with no promise of reopening and no cars moving. Well, except these cars who are using the on-ramp to get off the freeway. I have never seen anything like it. We sat in traffic for about ten minutes before we decided to be naughty and do what the cool kids were doing. Seeing as how we were breaking the law, I wish it would've been more thrilling.
