Fun in Utah

We had such a great time in Utah. It seems every time we visit Utah, a trip or two to Kangaroo Zoo is required. The kids always have such a great time. Emmy was so cute, when she went down the big slides she would cover her eyes. It was too funny.Of course the trip wouldn't have been half as fun if we didn't go to Lake Powell, Blanding and Grand Junction. In the picture below, the kids are "helping" my dad get the boat ready to go to Powell.The kids were in heaven eating the blueberry pancakes they helped my dad make.The weather during our trip to Utah was fantastic! We spent a lot of time outside playing and laying in the grass.Emmy loved the bugs and picking "flowers."We played a lot of baseball. Hyrum would ask anybody and everybody to play baseball with him.While we were visiting, my dad was making improvements on the retaining wall in the back of their house. Every morning, he would wake-up early and go out and work on the wall. The kids, especially the boys, LOVED to go out and chat with their papa and help him work.
The kids enjoyed feeding the horses by grandma and papa's house. As long as the dog stayed far away.
We enjoyed spending time with cousins and going to Grandma and Grandpa -Great's house.
Hyrum counted to 100 for Grandma-Great and Grandpa-Great.

For our last night there, we played baseball as a family and had a wonderful time. Everyone got involved in the game. For a treat, we had homemade ice cream.We had such a great time in Utah. Papa teaching Hyrum how to play checkers.My sweet parents and siblings were such great hosts and put up with use for so long. We loved our time in Utah. Thank you to everyone again!
