Thursday, July 23rd we left the OKC airport and flew to SLC on Delta airlines. The children were great on the airplane. Hunter loved being on the airplane and took a nap. Hailey enjoyed chewing her blue gum, taking care of her bunny, coloring and listening to music on the Zune. The plane was smaller than I thought it would be but it was a smooth trip. I like the convenience of flying but despite how many times I have flown, I still get a little nervous.
I had the lucky pleasure of taking Hailey to the bathroom twice and Hunter once. All three of us were in the very cramped stall for Hunter's diaper change. If his diaper was just wet, I would have made him wait!
After our arrival in SLC, we got in our rental car and drove to Ogden where we met up with Papa and Rhonda at our hotel and went to dinner. After that, Rhonda and I went to Walmart to pick up a few things. Dad, Brady and the children stayed at the hotel. After about 45 minutes of being in the hotel room, Brady and the kids toured the hotel, picked up some fliers and went outside. When they were out back, they found a hidden concrete trail which they followed. Hailey made a prickly discovery, saw "invisible water" in a tube, saw lots of dragonflies in dragonfly valley, went past buggy forest, crooked corner, secret garden and then found scary water at the end of the sidewalk. They said they walked so far that they needed a motorcycle to come back. On their way back they saw more dragonflies, climbed a big rock, found reeds and a pretty yellow flower which they picked just for me!

After Rhonda and I got back to the hotel, we retired to bed pretty quick.
