We arrived in Utah, and then our first day we had a set back. Our tire went flat on our way down the mountain from Park City to Salt Lake. I heard a slightly odd sound and then all of a sudden our sensor went off saying we were losing pressure in our rear tire. It went completely flat as we pulled over to the side of the highway. It wasn't a great spot, because cars were flying down the side of the mountain, but we had several tender mercies that day. At any other point in our vacation we would have been relatively stranded, but we had family from both sides within an hour's drive from us. Prior to leaving on the vacation Joel had felt that we should add roadside assistance to our car insurance, so the tow truck was completely paid for. My dad was able to pick us all up in his truck and take us back to our condo while Joel waited for the tow truck. We were supposed to be going to Joel's extended family's mini-reunion. It was going to take a couple hours to get the tire fixed, so Joel's parents were able to come up and grab our two oldest kids, so that they wouldn't miss it. We got the car fixed and were still able to get down to Pleasant Grove for the tail end of the dinner at Aunt Lori and Uncle John's home. We had planned to go see the Church's Conference Center prior to the dinner, but it really wasn't that big of a deal, so we honestly weren't too upset about the flat tire. It could have been way worse!
The kids had a great time at the dinner (too good of a time climbing the retaining wall). They were especially thrilled Aunt Liz was there. As per usual, I didn't get very many pictures of the adults, but I made sure to get pictures with Aunt Liz!
It was great to see so many from the Slovacek side of the family!
