I thought I'd share some hilarious quotes from the beginning of our trip to Utah...
As we were driving to the airport on our way to fly out of Orlando, I had forgotten to put a drink in the car for James. Kaitlyn had Gatorade, and I was supposed to run back in the house and get some for James. I forgot. So the whole way to the airport James was complaining in the back seat, "I'm going to DIE. I'm so thirsty!" A minute later, "I'm DYING!" Sigh. We kept telling him that we'd get him something when we got there, but he complained the whole car ride.
When we did get to the airport, the kids and I left Nathan to tie up the rest of the loose ends with the skycap, and we went in search of the water fountain. James took about 4 long drinks, stood up, put his hands on his hips, puffed out his chest and said, "There! Healthy AND strong!" Think Mighty Mouse. :)
It's fun to try to think back to when you were three and remember how not much made sense to you at that age. We had to rent a car, obviously, to get from Salt Lake City to Park City, but Kaitlyn really didn't understand WHY we didn't have our cars with us. "Why do we have to rent a car, we can take Daddy's!"
We were leaving the airport, and just as we got out of the rental car parking garage, James blurts out, "Well... looks like Utah is BRILLIANT SUCCESS!" Two minutes later called the mountains a brilliant success also saying, "This is wonderful! I love the mountains, then I can reach up and touch the sky!" He then proceeded to say (while giggling at the beautiful sight of the mountains), "Isn't it great to live on this planet?" Nathan and I were DYING of laughter.
Kaitlyn was scared... "I'm afraid of the mountains! I'm scared!" I think she thought we were going to LITERALLY drive INTO the mountains when we were talking about driving to Park City.
We had a blast there, with the Neiperts, the Wilckes and my parents. I'm sure there are tons of funny quotes that I'm leaving out, but this will do for now. :) I'm still working on the photos.
