Trip to Utah

A couple of weeks ago, we decided at the last minute to take a quick trip to Utah. We were going to go down for just Saturday the 28th, and then drive back the same night. We met up at a park with my family for a little picnic/bbq. My sister and brother in law from TN were here and it is the only time we have all been together in quite a long while. Sadly, we didn't get any good pictures of all of us. We were just more worried about not being blown away!


You will be glad to know that nobody blew away - but you can tell it was extremely windy!
For whatever reason, it was one of those tornado like windy days. I couldn't even eat any of the delicious salads that were there, because the wind was blowing the salad right off the plates. It took a lot of effort to eat a hamburger and keep your plate held down. The children however, didn't seem to mind the wind too much and had fun climbing EVERYTHING!




After we were fed up with the wind, we went back to my sisters house where we chilled for a little bit. Braden was in love with this dog that my sister is babysitting.

We met a new nephew/cousin - Tommy. He sure is cute and smiley.

We decided to stay the night instead of drive back home. There wasn't a lot of room, and it was basically wall to wall people. I set Braden up in the play in pack in the laundry room and the rest of us were all spread out on floors throughout the house. But isn't it all about the memories? Or so I'm told!
The next morning when we woke up, this is what my niece's hair looked like. I thought it was so darn funny and cute.


It was a fun trip and it was fun because the kids had fun and were so excited just to get away for a little bit. Thanks guys!

Finally!! I've been waiting for these pictures. I saw you taking the picture of dad against the fence and meant to have you show it to me at the house. Thanks so much for coming down. Even though there wasn't much room I had a lot of fun seeing and visiting with all of you. :) However, in your post you forgot to mention the stranger running through the hallways at night time... ;) Cute pictures!!
