We went to Utah. I realized I couldn't remember the last time I'd been with my people and Landon was on board with the idea (you never know with teenagers) so we drove to Utah the day after school got out. The timing worked great because the weather wasn't great in WA and most of the cousins were around. It was a quick trip and we wasted no time playing hard.
Pit stop at grandma great's house/pool
Henry living his best road-tripping life
After Henry warmed up on some kiddie rides we quickly moved on to everything else.
Henry rode on every roller coaster he was allowed on, even Wicked! He's a brave kid!
Ethan stopped by on his way home from work. He's a dental assistant and works at different offices/locations. And he destroyed Landon in the arm wrestle.
Henry always has fun playing with the Ditto cousins who are closer to his age
We ditched family to hang out with our friends from WA. The kids swam hard while I talked and talked with my friend. Always my favorite pastime.
You know vacations are exhausting when this happens :)
During all this, I also managed to buy a used car for Marcus. He's a smart kid and figured out his Aunt April has a gift for finding great used cars so with her help, we were able to pull this off. It's a great car and Marcus loves it. His summer sales paid for it, not me.
Beating the heat with the cousins at a pool and yes, I actually swam.
Henry and I tried to teach the younger cousins how to play badminton. We've got some un-athletic cousins! Henry was getting so frustrated and it was hilarious :)
Human slingshot is always a good time until someone gets hurt
I squeezed in a quick lunch with my high school friends and of course we forgot to get a pic with everyone. You always think you'll be friends forever but it's pretty great when you actually are.
I took the boys to Music and the Spoken Word. They've never been in the Conference Center before. Everyone loved it but Henry.
We did a little exploring and saw one of my most favorite paintings. The clouds are actually angels.
I loved this new statue outside the Relief Society building of the Five Wise Virgins with their lamps
Henry can't even remember when the temple wasn't under construction
It was a quick trip and squeezed in a lot of people and a lot of fun!
