UTAH SUMMER TRIP

Our Utah, 2009 trip was filled with constant fun, fun, fun!! We had such a great time and had each day filled with family and friends! Here we are up at Darcy and Jeff's house enjoying their pool. It was hotter than ever so we managed to find water wherever we could. (Carson in goggles, Max in tube and Zach)

The actual reason we decided to make our trip this year was to attend Alex's mission reunion. He served a mission to Uruguay back in 1991 and he hadn't been able to attend many reunions since we moved to California. Here is Alex with Mike Wilson, a companion and good friend.


This is President and Sister Grow with Alex and Max. Sister Grow is enjoying some of the authentic Uruguayian food they supplied.
One night we had a hot dog roast up in the canyon of American Fork. Beautiful as ever. Here is Megan and Aynn enjoying the night.

One day we got adventurous and decided to go on hike. We were told it was an easy, flat hike that only took about 30 minutes. Well, about 2 hours later we made it to the falls. Here we are at Stewart Falls which is up above Sundance Resort. It was an easy hike, but sorta longer than expected especially for Chase. I ended up carrying him most of the way back. (Alex had Max in the backpack) He was determined to see a snake in the bushes and he was also super hot so the entire time hiking back all I heard was "I'm hot. I want to see a snake." Over and over and over again. He claims he saw a snake in the bushes. We don't know if he did or not but he thinks he did because he saw the bushes move.

Me and Max enjoying the outdoors.

We went to this really cool children's museum in Salt Lake City. Kelly joined us with Quinn and Ansley and Darcy came with Carson and Sabrina. It was really fun and the kids loved it. Here is Anlsey and Chase playing in the grocery store.

Here is the museum again where Chase was in the "construction zone" operating the crane. He was in heaven!

A big family dinner. This is what we love the most, just coming to hang out with family.

Grandma came down from Brigham City to see us.

Max learned all about popsicles on this trip.

Kelly and I hiking the "Y" one morning. That same morning, Alex took Megan and Zach to hike the Y after I got home. While they were up there, it had gotten hotter and the sun was out. They saw 2 rattlesnakes and another snake. They were pretty excited and I was pretty excited I wasn't there for that. Yikes!
