Sunday morning Mackenzie and Ian came back to our hotel so they could open up the gifts they received in Utah. After they opened their gifts we left for home and Mackenzie and Ian left for Colorado.
About 4 hours in to our trip we decided to stop in Jerome, Idaho for gas. We didn't really need gas, but we decided to stop and stretch our legs a big. And it's a good thing we did! The water pump went out and radiator fluid spilled out right after we filled up with gas and went across the street for something to eat! Steve took a look at it with help from O'Reily's autoparts loaned tools and determined that it was not something he could fix. We were blessed to find a mechanic, who was not normally in his shop on Sunday, but had come in with his family to do some things.
He took a look, learned that it would need parts that would not be in until the next day and then handed us the keys to their second vehicle - a club cab pickup. Amazingly kind people. Here we are stranded in Jerome, Idaho but enjoying the experience!

The next morning we took a drive out to Balance Rock.
Here we are after our little hike up to the top of the rock...
Well, actually, here we are. :) Such a cool rock!
At 2:00 p.m. our car was done being fixed so we were back on the road again. At one of our gas stops I pulled out the left over reception food and dug right in to a chocolate eclair. Oh yum!

We pulled in to our drive way around 1:00 in the morning feeling grateful for all the tender miracles that took place before, during and after the wedding.
