Utah Spring

Whenever we get a chance to go back to Utah we try to spend as many days there as possible.  This last trip was just over two weeks.  You may wonder what we do with all of that time . . . well here you go.

We EAT!

Emma and Nate at Cowboy Grub, waiting for their lunch.

Colby and Sarah smashing Oreos to make Dirt Dessert.

Cafe Rio.

Eating with cousins.

Candy!

Nate's first go at ribs!

Easter dinner

Snacks!


It was beautiful weather and we played OUTSIDE a lot. 

Ben, Colby, Michael and Andrew playing 21.
Emma and Becca

A little one-on-one.

Riding in the back of the truck to the park.
Flying kites.
Geocaching with Grandma Mary.

Feeding the ducks at Sugarhouse Park.


Silly String fight in the front yard.

We were lucky enough to spend Easter there.  So, we CELEBRATED EASTER!

Barbie planned an Egg Decorating Contest.  So everyone was hard at work.



The kids took 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Baby Katie hunting for eggs at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Sarah was so surprised to find her basket in the cabinet!

Nate checking out his Easter basket.

The nieces and nephews with their awesome Aunt Jessica.

We did the Second Annual Easter Egg Roll at Sugarhouse Park.  The seagulls loved us!


Thanks to a generous donation we got some tickets for a JAZZ GAME while we were there.  The boys (and two of the cutest girls I know) went.  They all dressed for the occasion . . . I think everyone was really excited.

Ciro, Kalani, Ben, Michael, Colby, Emma, Jessica and Gene.

We all got hair cuts.  Barbie is always so sweet to open the beauty salon/barber shop when we come into town.






Visit the NIKE store.  Kalani works at the Nike Outlet in Park City.  He got us some pretty sweet deals.  Now I feel like we are Nike endorsers.




We visit MUSEUMS and historical landmarks.

Emma, Sarah, Nate and Jane dancing at the Church History Museum.

Once again, it was a great trip.  We seem to pack every minute of our vacations to Utah with fun!  Thanks to everyone for spending time with us!
