Loving Utah

Just spent a week in Utah while Matt was at EFY. I was SO busy laying around and relaxing that I forgot to take many pictures, but I did get a few of the 4th. We spent the afternoon swimming at this gorgeous pool...

(Seriously now, is that a park or a backyard???)

with our super fun and fabulous cousins of the human and canine variety. (You think the pool looks fun... too bad I didn't get a shot of the basement with its pool table, air hockey table, jukebox, Wii, big screen TV, full size arcade games, etc., etc., etc... A boy's paradise!!)

My favorite part was watching the fantastic diving board acrobatics and adoring these little munchkins...



Aren't they precious!!! (Just don't get in their way... trust me on this one!)


For the evening's entertainment, this great "uncle" got us tickets to see these dreamboats...


in concert at the Stadium of Fire, where I learned that my daughter is definitely NOT a groupie. Took me the whole concert to get her on her feet!

Another highlight of our trip was stopping at the quaintest little house ever to visit my mom and aunt (It's lovely, Skip & Clare), where we cooked pizza in the most fabulous oven ever...

and visited in the parlor for hours. Such a lovely, relaxing time. Other highlights included a tour of city pools, a trip to Lagoon, Seven Peaks, Jumpin' Jacks, a big family BBQ and a Slip 'n Slide fest. (Wait a minute... did I say this was a relaxing trip???)
Thanks Tami, Daryl, Meili, Eliah, Ana, Katie, Dave, Lincoln, Scout, Steve, Debbie, Maggie & Lucy for showing us such a great time! We can't wait to come back...when they get rid of Nevada!

I second the motion on getting rid of Nevada! Thanks so much for coming out. We always love it, but this was an especially wonderful time. (Didn't think we could top Michael Phelps from last summer.)
