Today was a very busy day getting wedding things taken care
of and then we got a call around 11:30am from a neighbor who had borrowed
our Suburban to take some of the ward's young men on their High Adventure Camp to Moab in southern
Utah this week. They were on their way
home and the Suburban died on the freeway about 3 hours south of our home.
Linc spent an hour or so on the phone trying to find someone who had a truck
with a big enough engine that could be used to tow the Suburban home.
Unfortunately anyone who a big enough truck was up at our Stake Property
getting things set up for Stake Girl’s Camp which begins on Monday. Lincoln was finally able to someone home who was
generous enough to let Lincoln use his truck. He got ready to head down to Green River, UT.
Linc rented a long flatbed trailer to put the Suburban on for the tow home. Tyler was at work, Ashley was gone and Linc was concerned that I would be more of a liability than an asset with the hot sun and strenuous work of loading the suburban on the trailer. lol So, he took Lexy to help. Lexy was willing so off they went! I told Lexy that Dad was a little stressed about the
situation and to not get her feelings
hurt if he might be a little impatient with her. She said she’d try!
Around 6:30pm, Linc emailed me a photo of the Suburban up on
the trailer, ready to be towed home. It was entitled “Funnest Father’s Day
Ever!” I’m so grateful that it all worked out! They arrived home about 9:30pm.
Lincoln's Father's Day Adventure!
Our wounded Suburban, making it's way back to Lindon.
Tyler & Andrea were here. Ashley and I made his favorite dinner and had it hot & ready when he
got home. Since tomorrow we will be at church and then drive up to Bountiful
to celebrate Father’s day with his dad and family, we decided to give him his
gifts tonight. He got a yummy basket from the local bakery, fill-in-the-blank form letters from the kids that made him laugh and . . . the biggie . . . we
bought a really nice trophy case and put his autographed BYU National Championship
Rugby Ball in it! He was so excited! He couldn’t stop smiling about it! That
made the rest of us happy too!
The last request from Linc was to watch a movie together as
family. We made it a BYOP Party. Everyone brought their own pillow and we gathered
in our master bedroom to lie on the floor, curl up on our bed and watch a cute
movie called, “We Bought a Zoo.” It was a crazy wonderful day and most
important our Dad knows that we love him very much!
