Utah Trip July 22-25

We took our longest trip in the van ever this weekend. We spent 15 hours driving all night to go to Utah for 2 days for Cassey and Sage's wedding and then spent another 15 hours driving home. We had fun though and was totally worth the trip. The boys slept all night which gave James and I a chance to talk and reminiscence and be a little goofy. (Lack of sleep makes everything either really funny or really annoying) We got to our hotel cleaned up and rested before heading out to Temple Square. Friday would be our only chance to do the touristy stuff, and it gave the boys some running around time. I think we set a new record for a self guided tour. But they enjoyed it. I wasn't shy about asking people to take pictures for us. So I can't complain if they didn't turn out the way I wanted them too.

The boys.
A fast paced tour through Temple Square means. 1-Pictures of family taken with Conference Center on the go. 2- Mom gets to walk slower and take in the beauty of the flowers and the Salt Lake City Temple. 3-Get in the Air Conditioner as fast as you can.
Quick walk to Visitor Center
of course My kids run up the ramp to the Statue of Christ.
I wanted something good to come of this quick tour, so I purposely sat here and
waited for the presentation to start.
Breathe.
The weather was beautiful, but hot, so we had a race to the van to get the A/C going. James and Logan won, while I stayed behind with Pokey.


Quote from the whole trip:
At 10 O'clock at night
" It's sad when 85 degrees feels good."

Mini-Vacation to the Great Wolf Logde!

We just got back from our mini-vacation to the Great Wolf Lodge. It's an outdoor themed hotel/indoor water park! We had so much fun. The boys loved every second of it. The water slides were just half the fun. Our room was decked out like a camp site. The boys had their own "separate" tent with bunkbeds.

Bed time was fun, and after an evening of water slide and swimming they slept so good. We all did in fact! We were able to go with our friends "The Smiths" and the boys played in the pool and moms and dads took turns taking the older boys on the Big slides. My camera weirded out on me so I didn't get any shots of us at the park, but my friend took many of us, and as soon as I get them, I'll post them below.

HERE ARE THE PROMISED PICTURES!
THANK YOU JEN!!!
