Utah Visit

We just got back from a nice long visit to Colorado and Utah. It was so much fun and a bit sad as I said goodbye to my home in Utah for the last time. My parents are moving and will no longer live there after July. I'm glad we got to make it out one last time! I'm looking forward to visiting California (where they will be living after this) and starting some more memories with my family there. And maybe even looking at potential places to live-- ha just kidding (kinda).

Utah was so much fun, as always, well at least in my opinion! We did a lot of fun things and even got a surprise visit from Lu & Ellie who we didn't think would be there! I love Ellie and we became good pals during the short time they were there.

 We left on Sunday and drove half way to Colorado. We decided we would get a hotel since this was the first time traveling with Jacob (more an excuse that we didn't want to drive the whole distance ;) ). And we wanted to go swimming!

 Katelyn was a little freaked out, but she got some practice in swimming on her own.

 She held on VERY tight to Nick. Normally she likes it, I think she thought Nick was going to dunk her haha. I do the same to him too, thinking he might dunk me :)

 Then she practiced floating on her back-- didn't like that either.

 We played with sidewalk chalk outside with Isaac, AJ, and Lauren. They made up this game called Hot Scotch. It was pretty fun!

 Nick tryin out Hot Scotch (Yes I know what I'm saying, it's not hop scotch, they call it hot scotch ;) ).

 Uncle Ike!

 WE (especially Katelyn) love Uncle Ike. She asks me about him every day. And I'm not lying.

 Katelyn loved being able to play outside on the grass

 Jumping around!

 Me and my little girl

 We went to visit the State Capitol in Utah. It was, no joking here, the first time I've ever been. I insisted we go take pictures.

Riding bikes!

We also went up to the City Creek mall & Lu took some pictures of us with her awesome camera at the park.

 We spent so much time at the park. Picnics, playing, & walks.

 The grandkids love their grandparents..I promise :)

 Katelyn loves water! These were especially cool at the City Creek Mall

LOVE her! She's basically like my adopted daughter.

AJ & Lauren had their second reception while we were there. We were so glad to go and help out. All siblings are married now except Isaac; I'm waiting for the day that I can add his invitation to our fridge! I'm so happy for all of my siblings!! Married life is great and since we're the veterans at it I can give them advice right? :) Going on 5 years now and still madly in love.

We had a great time in Utah. I'm sure going to miss going to our house there and visiting. It's where I grew up.
