We loaded up the car and drove to Utah for the second summer in a row.
It was a VERY long drive, only aggravated by my stupidity, when I took a wrong turn in Des Moines and almost drove us to Kansas City. So after the recovery from the realization I had just cost my kids even more time in the car, we zipped right through. We set a new record for ourselves on the way home by making the drive in 20 hours straight through. Our kids really were so good for the amount of drive time we put them through.
We had so much fun seeing family and great friend on our visit. It is always so nice to be surrounded by the people we miss the most!
Fun in Grandma's backyard with the cousins.
My parents took us to the Dinosaur museum in Ogden. The boys loved it, and are now absolutely fascinated by dinosaurs. It is all we hear about around here.
We also stopped at Hill Air Force Base and let the kids look at the airplanes.
We like to take the kids up to Gateway to let them run through the fountains. It was especially fun this year because both my sister Emily, and Del's sister Renee came with their broods.
Love that crack!
