Family Vacation- Utah

This post is long overdue so I'll keep it short and simple. We had a great time in Utah visiting friends and family. We got to see Kevin and Ashley's house, eat Cafe Rio, and had a quick visit with my friend Jessa. We also got to see some of Dave's cousin's we haven't seen in several years. It was fun to see Marcie's adorable twin boys, and Dallin is still talking about his new (2nd) cousin Colton and wondering when we get to see him again. One of the highlights of the trip was staying at Kim and Kenny's house. Dallin loved their kids, and we loved hanging out with the parents. (actually we loved their kids too and wish we had remembered to take a picture.)

We spent a few days in Logan with my family including my parents, Greg and Kevin's families, and my cousins Wendy and Robyn. I hadn't seen my cousin Wendy in 5 years so it was fun to catch up and see her cute little family. I also got to see my cousins Brian and Michael. We visited a living farm where the kids got to learn how they used to do laundry, make butter, feed the pigs, even milk a cow if they wanted. It was neat to hear Grandma G. talk about how they did things on the Farm when she was growing up. It wouldn't be a family reunion without relay races and the money game! Grandma even brought out the old banana boats for some yummy banana spits. Dallin and Dawson had a great time with their cousins Olivia, Grant and Spencer.



Though time was short we made it up to Tony Grove for a hike around the lake with Grandpa, make a few trips to the Aggie creamery for some Aggie Blue Mint Chip, and last but not least, we got to watch the fireworks at USU. Dallin came with us to share in the tradition and loved every minute of it!



When I asked Dallin if he wanted to go to the fireworks with us he pointed at Olivia and said in his tough boy voice, "I'm doing whatever she's doing." I said, "She's going to bed." He quickly replied, "I'm doing whatever you're doing!"
