To Utah And Back

Weeks ago, way back in July, the kids and I took a two week trip to Utah.  We had a fantastic time, by far the best we've ever had visiting that great state.  Here's what we filled our 13 days with...

Water fights in the backyard with Uncle Jordan.
Bowling!





Celebrating Uncle Kevin's 19th birthday with a trip to the Cheesecake Factory!  Yum. Yum. Yum.
The Farmington Parade. 
Seeing the Jazz Bear at the Farmington Parade.

Love this picture.  :)
Cheering on Uncle Jordan at the parade.
Bridget scored this awesome Phillies pillow pet at the parade.  She is just too adorable to resist.  :)
Visited the Farmington Fountain. 
Amazing!  The only other fountain like this in the nation is at the Bellagio in Vegas.  It was very impressive.  Who would have thought, little Farmington, Utah?!
More fun with water.
Playing lots of games with uncles.
A trip to This Is The Place with some Leake cousins.
We saw the COOLEST Native American dance performance.  Both of my kids loved it.  Highlight of the day.
Little Carson got mauled by some crazy goats.

Fun with cousin Katelin; Marshall adores her.
This was my first time meeting Carson, almost one and simply adorable.

Marshall finally conquered his fear and got on a pony.
Sleeping babies.
Said our goodbyes to Uncle Kevin as we dropped him off at the MTC for his two year mission to Singapore!

Took a trip to BYU, always a must.
Stopped to see the cougar.  This has become a tradition after dropping uncles off at the MTC.  :)


Went miniature golfing on what seemed to be the HOTTEST afternoon!
Played at the Liberty Park splash pad.

Playing basketball.  :)
We had a one day overlap with cousins Benson and Annalisa.  The boys loved their afternoon together.
Roasting marshmallows over the grill.
Saw 2000 Stripling Warriors at the Bountiful Parade.
Miss Bridget got pink-eye, and then an ear infection.  Poor girl.
Took a trip to the zoo.
Rode the merry-go-round.  Loved it!


 Read the newspaper with Grandpa Toney.

Not pictured:

*My ten year high school reunion.  How did I forget to take pictures at that?!

*City Creek shopping with my mom.

*Marshall's "Grandpa Bob" date on Antelope Island.

*Marshall and Benson's outing to the Dinosaur Park.

*Visiting with my wonderful college roommate.

*Marshall's first fireworks experience and a Bee's game with my parents and Jordan.

It was a great trip!  Now I just need another reason to visit...
