Utah!

Everyone! I dragged Shay to Utah and he actually had a good time! We all did. It was so fun to visit family and spend time together in the outdoors. We first stayed with my friend Carrie. Carmen had a blast with Garret and Amanda (her kids) riding tractors and horses and jumping on the trampoline. Well, we sorta had fun riding a horse. Let's be honest, it was a little scary. I know that was my first and last time. But it was also fun and a great memory.

Petra on the trampoline with Amanda (Carrie' little girl):



Carmen taking a ride with Garret (Carrie's little boy) on his tractor.



Petra with pigtails. She didn't like me pulling her hair to get them into pigtails. We probably won't do this again for a while:


Shay at breakfast with a bunch of kids. For those of you that don't know, Shay absolutely hates going out to eat with kids as they may get rowdy. So, it was funny to see him with so many kids at a restaurant.

Sunday we had dinner with my cousin Jessica and her family. Here are some pictures of the cute kids:





We took the kids to Lagoon on Monday with my Aunt Teri and her girls and my cousin Josh. I should have got a group shot of us all together...but alas, i was too busy taking pictures of Carmen on rides. She had a blast. It was so much fun. Hot, but fun. (I forgot how hot Utah can get in the summer)







Some cute photos of Petra with Teri and her kids:







Tuesday and Wednesday we went to Logan to visit my Aunt Laurie and her family. Again, we had a blast. We went to Willow Park and had a picnic and enjoyed each other's company while Carmen had fun running around, introducing herself to new kids and playing with cousin Andrew. It was a blast.









I'm in love with the Hipstamatic App on my iPhone. So, I took a bunch of pics of Petra in the grass. Here are a few:





And here are some "artsy" shots of some wildlife in the zoo:





Again, Utah was super fun. We wished we could have seen more people and done more. Hopefully, we'll catch more the next time we visit.
