Hamiltucky

Labor Day weekend was great! The drive South is about 20 miles less than the drive from Idaho Falls to Salt Lake, but it felt shorter, maybe because there was more to look at then just Mountains and desert? The down side is the speed limit is usually only 55-65 mph + traffic + roadwork= about the same time. I do have one thing to say though and that is people here drive soooo fast! Hah it’s almost like Utah, only I wouldn’t say the people here drive quite that fast. I averaged about 70- 80 mph depending on what pack of cars I followed, it was great my speeding took a whole 20 min off our trip. When we got there we had some Skyline!!!!
More pictures of us peeking over Skyline menus, sorry I just can't help my excitment.
Everyone says Gold Star is better but I just can't get enough Skyline!
Gold Star and Skyline are the chili equivalents of McDonalds and Burger King, they are very simular, BUT if you ask me Skyline has that little extra spice and "I'm Lovin' it" 
It's Skyline time!
When I asked for a bib the lady looked at me like "uhhh ok" haha it was great!

Moving on...
Grandpa Joe, Me, Grandma Coates

We stayed with my great grandma Coates and my Grandpa Joe (who now lives with her). I got to spend a good part of Saturday with her. Grandma, David and I went to lunch as Frisch’s (Big Boy), which Grandma loves, then when we came back David went and studied while I talked with Grandma. Other than not being able to hear very well she is sitll so sharp! It really is amazing, I’m so glad that she is still around. One funny thing was she couldn't seem to remember David's name at first and so she was calling him Jack, haha it was cute because she said "He don't look like a David to me, sometimes I just call people what I think they oughta be" such a funny little old lady.
Grandpa Joe, David, Grandma Coates
Haha it's so funny to see David next to her, she's just such a petite little lady.

On Sunday we went to visit my Grandma Snyder AKA Grandma Pink, it’s been her nickname for years and years. David has since decided to call her Grandma light red, haha he thinks he is so funny. Grandma Pink's family was having a get together at her brother's house. We told my Grandma and everyone about Grandma Coates calling David Jack, so they started to call him Jack. I don't really think David liked it haha but it was fun for one afternoon.

Waiting for food
Aunt Dede and Uncle Rick. Technically they are my great aunt and Uncle but I have a hard time remembering that. It's probably because my actual aunt and uncle are the same age as most of my cousins on my Dad's side so I think of them more like cousins. My Mom's side of the famly is a little bit younger then my Dad's.
