We had a lot of fun at our reunion (more on that in later blogs) in Breckenridge, CO and on Monday morning six families began departing for different parts of the mountain west and midwest. We left about 30 minutes before 3rd daughter's family and headed west down the mountain. I figured Grand Junction was a perfect place to get gas and maybe drop by a grocery store and grab a sandwich from a deli for lunch.
We pulled off the highway, got gas for the car and pulled back out into traffic. JoAnn asked where we are going and I said straight ahead (south on a city street) to look for something to eat. Just then the cell phone rang and it was daughter number 3. "Hey Dad we're going to Burger King for lunch."
"Where are you?"
"Right in front of you." And they were! While we were getting gas they had pulled of the highway and as we pulled out of the gas station they were turning left literally right in front of us. Had the light been different we would have missed them.
"How did you see us?"
"I didn't, little Deano said, 'There's Papa's car.' And when I looked it really was you."
So we had a bonus coming home, we got to spend extra time with one of our families.

What a fun lunch. The whole weekend was mostly fun. It was enjoyable having the grandkids together. Every body had their own place and could change around as they wanted to. I'm so glad the cousins are getting to know each other.
It was a big bonus! It is always hard to say good bye to everyone!!
