Utah
It’s taken a little while for me to be back from our trip mentally…it was so nice to not have to worry about cleaning my house, cooking, photography, leaking sprinklers, etc. etc. So maybe I just still didn’t want to deal with any of that, but I had to come back to reality at some point, right? So I am finally getting around to posting some pictures from the trip!!
The drive out wasn’t as bad as thought…and I was amazed at how beautiful it was this time! I have NEVER thought the drive across Nevada was at all lovely, but maybe it was because of the longer rainy season this year, everything was greener than usual and that contrasted with the blue sky and it was actually so pretty! So that was nice.
When we got there we had a great time just playing with the cousins and visiting with everyone…we did spend some lounging, lazy days…which I think are necessary :) We also got out and did a lot of fun things. We took the kids down to Provo and walked to Bridal Veil falls (the water was so cold it literally HURT…but it was still fun! ) We showed Preston where the cougars play…and even went to a scrimmage there later in the week. We went to the park, visited friends, went to a fun Children’s museum, and of course had lots of good food! Regarding the food I miss in Utah, I felt so gross…but so good :) There are quite a few restaurants that I miss in Utah and so when I go there I usually want to eat at at least ONE…well…I got to visit a few while we were there…Brick Oven, J-Dawgs, and Wingers. I am salivating. I think about food too much. ANYWAY…point is, we had a great trip and I could have stayed longer! I miss Shaun’s family and wish we all lived closer to each other!

I love these pictures! I need to get copies of some of them. And I love that you captured our sunsets….one of my very favorite things about where we live. I hope you can come back soon. We are having lots of fun having Burgess and Amy and Freddy here. We need you too! ASAP!

So glad you guys had so much fun while you were here. I’m just sad we were here when you guys were. Oh well. At least we are closer than PA now. p.s. I think about food A LOT too, but it gets way worse than yours. My prego craving of the day was a vegi Hot Dog on a Stick. I won’t tell you how many I had. Its gross just thinking about it.

That’s crazy! It sounds like we were in Utah about the same time. I’m glad you guys had a fun trip. I know what you mean about being mentally back… I still feel the same way and we’ve been back 3.5 weeks!

Oh what cute kids you have!!! I had to stop and stare at the one with Preston getting on that horse. I could have sworn it was Shaun as a little boy. So glad you go to go and have a good time.
