We took a family trip to Salt Lake City, UT this past weekend. I was very nervous to travel 12 hours in the car with my three kiddos but they actually did pretty well! We got to see a lot of family and hang out in WONDERFUL weather! Nice change up from the 100+ degree weather in AZ.
We got to hang out with Uncle Allen, he of course showed us around downtown Salt Lake.
Ron's sister Leslie lives in N. Salt Lake so... on Sunday, we celebrated Father's Day with them! We LOVE the Miller family and look forward to ANY opportunity we get to spend time with them! Our kids play so well together, plus they are just tons of fun!
That night we traveled to Logan , UT for my Hopkins family reunion. We all stayed in a very nice hotel, (well, I guess anything is nice after staying at the Baymont Inn & Suites Salt Lake City. Ugh!!!! This place had PLASTIC SHEETS! I kid you not! It felt like you were sleeping in plastic. Every time I moved I thought I was going to wake Callie! :) Good times! Good times! Haha!) We visited a fun little zoo, played at the park, went swimming and ate way TOO much!!!!
Of course within moments of arriving in Logan, Uncle Randy had all of my kids entertained with this crazy cat App on his phone. Even Callie was playing the game. Uncle Randy is so fun!
Grandma Hopkins and Noah! (formerly known as Grandma Copkins! I'm so sad that my kids don't call her that anymore! Mason used to make me stop the car all the time when he thought he saw Grandma "Copkins" walking down the street. Which of course it never was but just wishful thinking!)
Poor Peacock! Didn't have a chance!
If I
HAD to pick
ONE favorite moment from this trip I'd say it was getting Noah to go down the water slide with me at an aquatic center we went to in Logan, UT. Noah is very timid and analytical. If something isn't his idea, its not a good idea. (Kind of like his Dad! haha) I knew he would love this slide because he could go down it with me. I basically tricked him into going down it with me. I carried him up the stairs and down we went (he only hesitated a little)! At the end of the slide he said "Let's do that again!" I love watching my kids experience things for the first time.
The last part about the water slide is so sweet it made me want to cry. How fun!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had alot of fun! I wished you had called I would have loved to see you.
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a fun trip! We went to Utah last month and the weather was SO nice! My kids actually played outside in the middle of the day and didn't come back inside after 5 min complaining they were hot! (my sister lives right next to Lagoon)
