UTAH -- Part 1 of ?

Six weeks is a long time to be away from home, no matter how much fun your having.  Eventually no naps, no bed times and no routines catches up with you -- and if that wasn't bad enough, you also soon remember that you still have to travel 36 hours home with these people.  AND not to mention catching up on 6 weeks of non-stop pictures is kind of a drag as well.

There's no such thing as a locksmith, so instead they radio out to the sheriff who comes apologizing to you for making you wait an extra few minutes since he had to get out of a meeting to come save you. Bless you small-town sheriff! You were our hero for the day!
