Utah Trip 2015: Part 2

We had many fun and delicious lunches and dinners at Grandma Jill's house.  The best meals were (as they always are no matter whose house we're at) those we could serve outside, since the playing didn't get interrupted for too long, and the mess was not a concern.  Eating at that picnic table in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard is basically a summer staple.  However, the one thing the boys (especially Sam and Jack) will say is their absolute favorite thing ever to eat at Grandma Jill's is her famous waffles, complete with the sweet, sugary and warm syrup.  These guys were in waffle heaven!

How is it that we didn't discover how much fun the kids would have in Uncle Judd and Aunt Kellee's pool  until after we had already been in Utah for a week?  They loved it.  We made several trips up there including one after the fun 4th of July parade. (That actually was really fun this year!)  What better way to spend Independence Day than a nice cool dip in a pool? (Especially when it is followed by the coolest fireworks display ever!!!)

Utah Trip 2015: Farm Fun

Perhaps one of the most memorable days for the boys was the day we took them to hang out on the farm.  They just loved the sand hills and really enjoyed their tractor ride with Papa.  The pictures say it all!

Utah Trip 2015: Part 1

Our Utah trip happened at the very beginning of summer, but it seems like it was so long ago.  We had so much fun while we were out there, the boys just love it!

These excited boys could barely contain themselves on the drive to the airport and on the flight.  We didn't get to Holden until the wee hours of the morning, though, so the cousin fun didn't begin until we had slept in a little.  But then--cousin awesomeness!!  It was especially fun to meet our newest cousin addition, cute little Waylon!  Of course we had to do some swimming and water sliding fun right away, as well as Wild Cat rides, trampoline time, trips to visit Gramma Grape, and a quick pick-up ride up Maple Hollow--just some of the wonderfully exciting things to do while in Utah visiting Papa and Grandma Jill.   Since Paul only got to stay for a little while, we also snuck in a trip to Yuba and definitely couldn't miss lunch at Cluff's!
