This summer we learned that you technically can fly without a driver's license. We were most of the way to the Phoenix airport when Aaron realized he forgot his wallet at home. We would have missed the flight if we turned back for it. Some frantic googling told us that some alternate forms of ID may be accepted. We did manage to get him through security with insurance and other cards in my wallet that had his name on it, but it took way longer to get through security. It was not an experience we wished to repeat.
Fortunately, Stephen and Claudia were driving up to tour Salt Lake City before spending a few weeks at Elizabeth's house. They broke into our house to grab Aaron's wallet and took it up with them. We met them in Temple Square to pass it off. It was good to do a tour with the kids, even if a big chunk of temple square is closed for renovations.
Once I learned that I would be in Salt Lake for an afternoon, I texted my BYU roommates in the area and asked if they were up for a last minute meet up. Laura and Kristy were. It was so good to see them! Yet another example about how the best friendships are ones where you can pick up right where you left off, even if its been years since we saw each other.
The best part of the mini reunion was when Laura sat in some dog poop and had to wash her shorts in the stream. Classic.
Kristy immediately won over my kids with her humor and snail catching skills.
We had an hour to kill before we made our way to the airport, so I found a park called Liberty Park on google maps. Elliot claims that this last minute stop was his favorite part of the whole trip and that it was "more fun than Minecraft," which is the highest praise that boy can give.
