Utah Trip - July-Aug 2010

Well i guess it's about time that i post about me and the boys trip to Utah. We got home last week and while we were glad to see Robert again, we had so much fun in Utah and could have used a few more days there. We are so grateful that Aunt Dayna footed the bill to bring me and the boys to Utah for a visit. While we do consider Kansas our home now we still miss Utah and most of all the people there, oh and Cafe Rio.
We started of by spending a evening at Pirate's Island in Orem, it was a really fun place with great food and the boys loved every minute of it!

We also made a trip to The Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. We hadn't been there for a while so it was fun and had more things since we went last. They had a neat new Sea Turtle and some penguins. And as you can see below, Jake liked the big frog.

Yes i make my kids get in strange props and take pictures of them, that's just how i am. It is cute though, right?!

Jake and a pretty blue frog which is probably poisonous.

Me and my boys, gosh i love 'em!

We also got to visit with the Farrells! It was so fun to catch up with them and see how much their girls have grown. I can't believe how old our kids are getting. Now if we can just keep them convinced that they have prearranged marriages with each other that would be great!! I love that i got a picture of them where they are all smiling, what a bunch of cuties!

Cody and Jake ventured off from their Mama this trip. Their Grandma and Papa Davis came and took them for a couple of days and i hear they had a blast. Here are a few pictures that i got in the mail last week that prove fun was indeed had!!
Here they are at the "Lake House"

I love this picture of Papa playing with Jake in the sand....

While they were in Price they got to try their hand at firefighting! I wish i could have been there for this, i know the boys loved it. Jake is obsessed with any type of big truck so he had to be in heaven and Cody talked about it for days.





Cooling off the mountain, can you tell how much fun Cody is having?

While the boys were in Price i had a chance to relax and rejuvenate. It was a nice little break for me and i had a nice time spending time with family and friends. When the boys came back we took a trip to Hogle Zoo. I really like the Hogle Zoo so i was glad we got a chance to take the boys. I love Jake's face in this next picture, he's such a goofball.

They had a new little elephant at the Zoo that was so cute, it was pretty hungry when we went and wouldn't turn around for a good picture but that's OK it was just super cute to watch.

Had a great day at the Zoo, thanks Grandma and Papa!
We had such a great time in Utah this summer and are looking forward to coming for Thanksgiving and hopefully seeing more of you that we missed this trip. It's always nice to see our family, friends and the mountains!
