This year our Utah trip got postponed from the 24th of July because I had a ton of stuff going on at work and couldn't take it off. Luckily even though we missed Pioneer Days we just happened to be there the weekend of Salem Days so there were lots of fun stuff for us to do. Well besides hang out with our cousins and play on Grandma and Grandpa's nice new deck!
Of course, we have to start out every morning jumping on the trampoline...and afternoon...and night...and every time we get back from somewhere!
The girls were so super excited to eat spaghetti and Brick Oven. I love that they have the same exact excited face!
Scott volunteered to watch all 5 of these kids under 5 so that my cousins and I could go to the movies. He is super brave but the kids had an amazing time!
Rachel, Brenda, Abbey, and I going to see "The Help", such a nice getaway!
One day Rachel invited all the kids over to play in her fun backyard and slip-n-slide, swim, jump on the trampoline, and of course play.
One of our new baby cousins, Brigham. Isn't he cute!
How much stuff and kids can we fit into this slide? Hmmm, let's see.
Group Shot. This isn't even all of the girls cousins, it's only half of them!
The bottomless pit ate her fare share of pizza and cookies!
Prezlie and Olivia...they played so good together and had a ton of fun!
The view from the trampoline, the picture doesn't do it any justice. The mountains are so close it looks like you can reach out and touch them.
Our new favorite thing to do...blow bubbles in the backyard. I just wish it wasn't so hot here that we could do this at our house too.
Another one of our favorites, driving the police cars. So much fun that as soon as we got home Scott went out and bought the girls some!
Grandma with us girls eating milk shakes from Barry's on the front porch! So yummy!
The whole family waiting for the parade to start. It was so hot and no one is looking at the camera because the sun was right in our eyes.
Me and the girls during the parade eating suckers!
Mac getting his boogie on...he is a great dancer!
Hayden and Callie, two blond cuties!
Loved this picture, Callie was sharing her M&M's with Hayden.
My favorite float at the parade...the Raspberry picker! All those kids in the street are patiently or impatiently waiting for candy to be thrown from the floats. They were hard core.
Our other new cousin Porter. This year was the year of the boys!
Grandma & Grandpa hanging out with Millie at the parade.
After the parade we went to the pond where they had activities for the kids...including boat rides in the pond!
We also went to Uncle Blake and Aunt Gaylen's to swim and play in this cool kid car wash they built. I think that is Callie going through it.
They also put their water slide up which Hayden LOVES!
Olivia didn't love it so much...see the evil look she is giving me because I forced her in!
I want to know who gave Hayden this bag of cheetos...anyone want to fess up?
Then Cousin's Brandon and Jenny let us come to their house and ride their horse Angel. Hayden was so super excited!
Olivia wasn't too sure at first... SHOCKER!
Eventually we got her to ride her. Hooray for Horses, except next time we are not going to feed them. Hayden tried to feed Angel an apple and she got her thumb. Luckily she got over it pretty quick and she asked to ride her again!
Awe, we love our Grandpa and Grandma. I am so thankful that I can still take my family and visit them every year and that my girls get to have fun summers with their cousins just like I did when I was a kid.
Another fun Utah trip! We are already counting down for next year!

Ah this makes me miss you guys! It sure is fun to have a visit every year! I'm going to have to steal that pic of Mac dancing, I couldn't get a good one!
BAH! Looks like a blast. I HATE that I missed it :(
Next year for sure.
I can't believe I had to miss it! It looks as fun as I knew it would be.
Maybe you guys should just move here :)
