We spent yet another wonderful summer vacation going to Utah to see family and friends. We also went to drop off all of Allyson's college gear for when she went back to start BYU! We had such a great time with everyone. We are so lucky to have such great families. We love you all.
Mom and the kids drove out by ourselves as usual. Dad cannot get that much work off. Here we are at a rest stop along the way looking real good after our many hours in a van. Notice Tyler's stuffed animal on his head. Allyson thought this was about the funniest thing ever. Go figure.
First stop was Grover, Wyoming to see Nate and Laura's families. As you can see we did not even get unpacked before Nate took interest in my boys airsoft guns they brought. I think he took a little too much interest as you can clearly see. Hee Hee. I have to say he actually deserved this as he told my boys to shoot him from a short distance right after I told him how bad it hurts close up. You have never seen a grown man dance around in pain so much. Ha Ha. Yes, those are all welts.
Here we are out front of Nate and Cindy's house with the van that the kids always have to write on for our long drives.
This is what the kids had been waiting for. Unfortunately, Nate got rid of most of his motorcycles, but that did not stop the kids from having a blast on this baby! Tyler is in heaven.
Andrew taking his turn and making the motorcycle look even smaller.
And of course Sydney Grace who rode it by herself this time.
Sydney with cousin Madison. So cute!
What would a trip to Wyoming be without stopping at the snoasis. Yes, Nate's family runs this every summer. He bought this and fixed it up and you can imagine how popular this is in the booming town of Afton, Wy.
Cousins Landon and Mariah working hard in the Snoasis.
Now if this isn't small town, I don't know what is. Sydney and Maddy sitting in the pool at the Snoasis.
Allyson and McKenzie with Auntie Laura. Looking like hot babes!
Our disabled brother finally comes out of hiding. I told him he would regret this. I actually had tears rolling down my cheeks as I posted this, and I am home alone. Oh Nate! You have always been the odd ball. We love him anyways.
And yes, this is sweet Nate again proudly showing off his chicken coop in his backyard. Only in Grover, Wyoming. He will proudly show you his rather large eggs that bulge out of the egg cartons. They come in all colors and sizes. Hee Hee.
On our way out of Wyoming and off to Utah. This really is a great little town. People think we live in a small town, but I think not. Our little model, McKenzie.
Under the largest elkhorn arch. You have to be on the map for something. I thought this was pretty cool. Notice Tyler is not in the pic. I'm sure he was mad about something. Ha Ha.
We finally arrive in Utah and have dinner at Grandma Hamilton's with Matt and Liz's family. So good to see everyone again. I wonder if we will ever end up back in Zion.
You all know that we of course had to spend time with our BFF's since they now live in Lehi. Just more time to split, but it must be done as they are like our family. We love our Wiricks. We just spent one day with them and got to go to our favorite restaurant, Pei Wei, then spent the day at Park City.
Little Lovers in Park City.
Greg, Christy and Me as we wander through the streets of Park City.
The three Amigos getting ready to ride the Alpine Slide. This was pretty darn fun, even if we did look like fools.
Greggy!
Brian!
Christy!
Julia! What a fun day. Thanks to Grandma Hamilton for taking care of our sick kids who were throwing up. It never fails, we got sick again in Utah. What is it with this place.
