Utah Party-o-rama! 2013

Our trip to Utah was a blast.  

In the Airport Ira would scream to each kid who entered the play area, "Get on the plane!  We're going to Grandma's!!!"  He was more cooperative on this flight than he's been in years, which is saying a lot since he's only 3.

Our main reason for heading out West was Becca and Dallin's wedding.

It was beautiful.

We're really excited to have Becca in the family!

Other Utah adventures included...

fulfilling Ira's life dream to fish.

Grandma caught one!  She also showed the boys how to gut and cook it!

We also went hiking....

slowly,

And ATVing...

speedily.

We then ate large portions of ice cream almost daily.

We also road the Park City Gondola.  It was really impressive!  Don't listen to Ira's face at all.

In our down time I let Aunt Millie entertain the boys...

so I could get my trash kicked by Anthony during Giant Chess.

Anthony and the boys were chilling in Park City, while I got to visit some of the best people in the world including...

The Wallaces (my cousins)

the Francis's and Aunt Fae (more cousins)

Julia and Lena (mission budies)

and the Proulx (pseudo family)

I LOVE all these people!

When we got back to Michigan a couple of weeks ago, we hit the ground running.  But more on that later.  Happy September All!
