Our adventure.

So in one of my last posts I mentioned that we tried to drive to Utah but didn't make it...here is the story. Every year my family has a Gingerbread house making contest. It gets pretty intense and even though mom usually wins (I think she pulls some strings with the judges) it is still really fun to get together to do this. For those of you that know the Laytons, you know that it gets pretty competitive and turns into quite the deal with lots of frosting and tons of candy. Well, I had talked to my mom and she told me they would be doing it on Sunday. I wanted to go so bad! We had our ward Christmas party on Saturday night so we were home getting ready for that when I had the bright idea to pack up and drive to Utah. Nate noticed the crazy look in my eye and asked what I was thinking. I told him I really wanted to go home and asked if we could drive to Utah that night. I think he was a little surprsised but he said "SURE!" We loaded up the car really quick, dropped our food assignment off at the church and then we hit the road. Long story short, we didn't make it. We heard that the weather was going to be really bad so we decided to turn around. We would have only been able to stay for Sunday and would have had to come back for work on Monday. It just didn't seem worth it for such a short trip. We only made it to Mesquite. We stopped there and ate some dinner then went home and called it a date. It was fun but I think our craziness got the best of us. We plan to go home for next years competition so get ready Mom cause it's on!!

Luckily we had the DVD player for Zoee so she was really good and enjoyed the car ride.
