Utah Vacation- Part of Week 3

It was great to have lots of cousins around to play with.  And of course aunts and uncles.

Aunt Jodi taking time to play with Allison & Tate.  Showing them how to write their names with ice...they were so fascinated!

One more trip to Seven Peaks!  This time with more cousins!

Cooper & Alex were buddies going on all the slides together.

A little ice cream treat to make cool us off.

Jodi and my mom!  So cute!

Jami and I...a great sister-in-law!

The girls...Libby, Sammy, Clara, Shelby, & Tylee.  They loved this place!

Allison just loves the water!

Tubing buddies!

Tate & Allison were such great friends!  They jumped in over and over again.

Too cute!

Porter & his daddy who took him on the best rides.

Clara & grandma...such a great grandma!

The whole crew!

My kids and I at the end of the day.  We were tired, hungry, sunburned, & happy!

To help us get in the mood to celebrate Pioneer Day we went to a little pioneer park and got to experience life as they knew it.

The kids washing some clothes the old fashion way.

Candle making.

Sammy's candle turned out really well.

Even Allison made a candle.

Clara churning the butter we used to spread on the home made bread!  Delicious!

Playing some pioneer games.

Utah Vacation-Week 2!

Nothing like spending a morning swimming!  And even better at the Broderick's grandparent's pool!  We had it all to ourselves!

The girls playing!  Abby taught Sammy how to dive!

 Lunch time!

 A little picnic and pizza!

 Minecraft play coming in handy!

 Trying to get their robots to work!

 Success!

 Playing in the sand pits!

 Don't let it eat me!  Trying to get them all to look was impossible!

We bought Pass of all Passes this year so we started off at Seven Peaks!  We just love this place!  The older kids can play there for hours on their own and the little ones too!

Hold on Sammy!

 Alex not wanting to try the lily pads.

 But he had no problem with the rope swing!

 My little fish!

 Alex & grandma were tubing buddies!

 Tylee & Sammy went down almost every slide!

 Sisters! They all slept well that night!

So happy we got to meet up with the Caldwells (friends from FL, but now in TX)!  And at the BYU Creamery...even better!
I sure miss our lunches together!

The whole group.

And then I took the kids to BYU to buy shirts and explore a little.  Trying to brainwash them into going there some day!

Went up to grandpa Hobbs' place for swimming and good eats!

Libby is such a great helper with Allison!

Hot tub!

Besties!

Allison and Tate jumped off over and over again!
