Last night, we left Nolan with Rob and Lacey so that we wouldn't have to take him to the downtown Salt Lake health department for H1N1 shots. It's a good thing they were able to watch him. We woke up at 4:30 and were in line by 5:45. Justin did an estimate and figured that at that point we were around 120th in line. There were somewhere around 1,500 doses so we were safe. We were prepared with lawn chairs, winter clothes, and a snuggly sack for Ezra. The line grew and grew and by 7 a.m., there were already too many people to receive the vaccine. It took us one hour to get to the nurse station after they opened. It would have felt like a lot longer if Nolan was with us running around. We watched people get turned away and there was a sheriff at the front doors in case anyone got out of line. So now we just need to stay away from crowds (and Wal-Mart) for another week until the vaccine kicks in and then I'll feel like Ezra is pretty safe. An early morning and two and a half hours in line definitely seem worth it to me.

I'm so impressed you guys thought to leave so early and were so prepared! I was totally mislead by the short easy time I had earlier in the week getting the girls' shots. Hopefully my OB will get it soon and then I won't have to deal with the clinic!
We love our Dyson vacuum too!! I'll never go back to anything else. I loved your 'birthday week' post. I'm so glad you all were able to get your shots! Thanks again for being my partner on Saturday with our frames...we make a great team! :)
good for you. I don't know if I would have been that dedicated.
