Moving Day!

Well I can't believe I didn't get more pictures on moving day than these, but here goes...

We left Fredonia, AZ about 6am on Tuesday May 29, 2012.  Mom and Dad Baker were able and willing to help us get everything down to our new home.  Ben drove our truck and a small trailer, followed by Grumpa Baker in his truck with the big loaded trailer, and Grandma Baker and I brought up the rear in the infamous Buick La Sabre with the kiddo's.  

 We only had one small delay.... which was a good break for the kids ;)  While following my dad and the big trailer, we suddenly witnessed small pieces of rubber spill across the highway in front of us. This was followed by a strong smell of burning rubber. Being the bright bulbs that we are, we still weren't sure it was dad's tire.  But, we did give Ben a holler on the good ol' walkie talkies and a few minutes later we pulled off in the middle of the Navajo Reservation. There we confirmed the fact that we had indeed, not only blown, but shredded a tire on the trailer.

 (Ben LOVES this picture above)

Here is what is left of the tire.

 Holdyn had the time to build a sweet little sand castle and play in the sand while they fixed the tire.

Kimber killed time by balancing on the hitch and showing off for anyone who would watch.

We made it safely, just 10.5 hours after leaving.  We were met by 6 men in our new ward who helped us get speedily unloaded into our new place in Albuquerque.
