UTAH!!!

The kids, my mom, and I packed up the minivan and headed to Utah the 6th through the 13th. We stopped first at Aunt Leslie's house- and spent the night. The next morning, the kids and I left. We stopped in Provo to get my wedding ring cleaned, and visiting with my good friend Jessica and her 2 cute girls, Laura and Lillian. Then, we made the trek up to West Jordan to visit Grandma Pam, Grandpa Dave, Breanne, and Evan. We stayed at Breanne's house for the next few days, doing lots of fun stuff like Liberty Park, flying kites, and a farmer's market. At Liberty park we had a picnic, fed the ducks, and played in the water. Bryson didn't want to get in, but once he did he had a blast. The kids spent a couple hours in the water.
I even got to do a girls night (movie- What to Expect...) with Breanne and my Mom-in-law on Sat. night. Sunday, we went to church with Grandma Pam and Grandpa Dave, then headed down to Santaquin to stay with Aunt Leslie and my mom again. We spent lots of time playing games and visiting. Monday, we had a girls night (Olive Garden and a movie) with Kami, my mom, and Aunt Les. Thanks to Nick and Jason for watching my kiddos! Tuesday, we took the kids to the zoo. We had a great time! They have a new exhibit with a polar bear. The polar bear kept us entertained, swimming in the water. It was awesome! My dear friend, Kelli, and her two kiddos Lilly and Dallin met us there. We had quite the group- Aunt Les, Matt, Jason, Kami and their two kiddos, My mom and I and the two kids, and Kelli and her kiddos. We had a blast!!! After that, mom, Aunt Les, Kami, me and the kids headed to City Creek. We had a good time walking through it. We stopped to eat at Subway in the food court and Aimee fell out of the stroller on her nose. She bled and screamed- it was not a good scene. Finally after about 20 min it stopped and she calmed down. Other than blood, a cut lip, and a bump on the head she was fine. Thank goodness! The kids then played in the water at the splash pad there, and loved it! We went back to Aunt Les' and packed up. We tried to go swimming but it was too cold! Wednesday morning we got up and made the trek back home. We drove through Monticello, Blanding, and Monument Valley. My mom showed me some of the sites where she grew up. It was neat. Aimee got sick and threw up all over right after we started our trip. Bryson got sick and threw up outside of Flagstaff. Overall, we had to stop 8 times and the trek took us 13 hours. We were glad to get home!
I'm so glad we were able to go visit family and friends! The trip was so much fun! I look forward to going back next month!
