Trip to Utah - Part 5

We needed something to do one Sunday afternoon to fill the time after church, so we headed up to Memory Grove to walk off the kid's energy for a little bit.

Cooling their feet

Taking some time to meditate

Noah needed his chance too


Mike celebrated his 40th birthday while we were in Utah . He got to spend it with his family, which was so neat for him.

His favorite - blueberry cheesecake

He got some gifts that come in handy when you're an old guy


We also got to celebrate the 4th of July. The day started with a little parade in Mike's parent's neighborhood. Afterwards there is a little neighborhood carnival with games and food.




My whole family was also in town for the weekend of the 4th. We all decided to meet up in Park City to do a little outlet shopping, and then over to the resort to ride the Alpine Coaster and Slide. We had a great time! Afterward we went back to Mike's parent's house for a BBQ, and then over to the park to watch fireworks.

The next day we headed down to American Fork for my nephew Landon's blessing. It was so fun to be with my family, and the weekend ended way too quickly.

My whole family!

Silly cousins

The kids with my Grandma and Grandpa Crosbie - the only Great-grandparents my kids have left. I was so happy that we got to see them and get this picture.


When it was time to head home we drove a long first day - 15 hours, and stayed the night in Council Bluff, Iowa. Since the second day was a shorter drive we took a detour and went to visit Adam-ondi-Ahman. It was the only church history site we hadn't visited yet in Missouri. It was a very beautiful and peaceful place.



From there we headed home. We were happy to be back in our own beds, but so sad the trip was over. We had such a fun time with all our family and friends, and can't wait to do it again!

You guys did sooooo many fun things while you were here! Wow, I bet you had to take a vacation when you got home to relax after that vacation.

Is Megan taller than you now? She looks like it in one of the pictures.

It almost makes me sad to look at those pictures. It was fun to see you guys but the time went by way too fast. I wonder when we'll get to do it again?
