This summer we took 2 trips to Utah (both within a few weeks of each other.) Lots of car time for sure and despite Callie throwing up, whiny children, driving all night and a little arguing over movies it really wasn't so bad! I really enjoyed visiting and talking with Ron it felt like a a few really long dates, very nice. Both trips were for Family reunions. The Hopkins Family reunion was held at Cherry Hill Campground. We played in the water, visited Antelope Island and caught up with extended family.
Antelope Island was really pretty. My kids were fascinated with the Bison and animal life there.
The Hopkins Clan!!!
Callie really did travel pretty well. But she was our most difficult one in the car. Poor thing caught some kind of bug on the way home our first time. She threw up like 10 times in the car. Not sure if it was a virus or crazy car sickness. I learned really quick I'm not so great at catching throw up from the passenger seat. LOL Grateful we didn't experience that again.
Our 2nd Utah trip was for the Huber Family reunion. Both trips we invaded the Miller's home and stayed with Ron's sister Leslie (and husband Matt) with their 6 kids. This family is amazing. Especially Leslie! I learned a lot from her in just a few short nights observing their family. I went home with a renewed desire to be a better mom. Leslie is amazing with her kids and puts them before EVERYTHING. Plus ALL their kids are so great! They were very nice and patient with our little kiddos. It's hard to explain but I really appreciate her friendship and example as a mother in these latter-days.
Church was nice to get to sit next to Ron. (a rare occasion that I relish every chance I get)
Nap time!
Callie absolutely adores her cousins!
Sleeping arrangements!
