We had such a great trip to Utah this summer. This is the first post but there's more to come. I'm way behind and I have a million pictures, so just be prepared. I'm trying to catch up so bear with me. We went for a week in July and tried to fit as much as we could into the week. We still ended up with too much to do and not enough time but we really enjoyed the time that we had. We love and miss our friends and family so much and we look forward to spending time with everyone. It's always hard to leave but that will just make us look forward to another visit very soon.
We stayed at my dad & Debbie's and the kids love walking down the alley to visit all of the animals. My dad always has a steer that he feeds and loves during the summer and then ships him off to the "bad place" so they can have meat for the winter. It's amazing how when we come in the summer, he still has the same cow but he always changes slightly in color. :) It's nice that the small kids can't tell the difference. The kids affectionately call him Moo-Moo. There were horses down the alley and down a little further, my friend has horses and they happened to be down there when the kids were with their grandma Leslie and they got to go for a little ride. The animals are always a highlight. It's funny how they think I grew up on a farm. One of the favorite places was the hammock on the deck and I love the picture with all of the kids piled on Cody. The kids and their cousins are inseparable while we're there....love those pictures.

Our little Monkey's
My dad has owned property in a small little town outside of our hometown for quite a while. He decided this summer to make it their vacation spot....it's perfect because it's about 20 minutes away from home, he left his trailer up there so they could just drive up and stay and they made several other spots for my brothers and sister's trailers as well. He poured a cement pad for a shed, laid sod for a grassy play area, ran gas lines for a barbecue, brought power & water hookups for the trailers and even brought up some sand for a sandpile for the kids. It's so beautiful up there and the kids had a great time.....even though we were only up there for a couple of hours. What a fun place this is going to be for next summer.
We had a fun family party at Grandma Leslie & Grandpa Mark's house. They have a large, beautiful backyard and it was so nice just to hang out on their deck for those beautiful, cool Utah evenings. They always have fun games to play and we ended up playing water kick ball with Andrew & Angie and it was so fun. The kids loved it and were soaked by the end. We love being so close to everyone while we're in town. We rode scooters over from my dad's and the kids love that.....I wish we could do more of that where we live now! Oh well...we enjoyed it while we were there.
