Utah Trip Part Two

Here's some more pictures from our trip to Utah this past month. We had so much fun with everyone and got to do so many things but the time flew by so fast and we're sad that it will be two more years before the next reunion and we can spend that much time out west again.

Here we are enjoying one more sunny day at the pool. We spent so much time there (thanks to Liesl :) that we all came home with nice tans and have gotten several comments about it!

A day at the beach at Daybreak. The girls loved this, they have never really played in sand like this and it was fun to experience the beach, even if it wasn't the ocean.

.

Getting "all muddy"! Leah ended up with sand all over her face and in her mouth a few times, that was fun trying to get that out!

.

Abbie playing Duck, Duck, Goose on the trampoline with a few of her cousins...

and Ring around the Rosie.

.

They all fall down!

.

Hanging out in Aunt Becca's backyard on a perfect sunny afternoon

Racing cars with Boston and Uncle Phil

.

We painted crafts while the kids painted on paper. Liesl made me this awesome clock that I still need to finish getting the vinyl numbers on but once it's done, it's going to look amazing!

.

Playing dress up...

.

and trick or treating around the neighborhood. Really! (It's a long story)

.

Abbie learned how to ride a bike after watching her cousins do it so much

.

Here she is in action!

Trying to get Leah excited about doing it also

.

Visiting Thanksgiving Point with Aunt Afton and cousin Maggie

.

They thought the elephant fountain was pretty cool!

.

I love this picture of Maggie opening the Secret Garden door.

.

It was gorgeous inside, what a perfect place for a wedding reception or family pictures.

.

The beautiful waterfalls (and Abbie listening to the baby)

.

My pretty girls and I in a beautiful place. What a great day for visiting the gardens!

We loved being with family and will miss everyone a ton but it's good to finally be home and get back our regular lives. Thanks for all the family who fed us, let us sleep at your house, and put up with our desire to eat at Cafe Rio just one more time! Abbie and Leah keep talking about all their cousins and it's going to be hard to keep them entertained for the next little while since they've gotten used to having someone to play with all day long. We miss you but hope you'll come visit us out this way soon!
