I seem to do a lot of "Utah" post and what can I say. We just love going to Utah. It always feels like a mini vacation and I just love being with my family! It is nice that I am close enough to visit them whenever we want, but I still wish we lived closer! So we went down in June, August, and then three times in September. So I will just do a catch up of the June trip and someday get to the others...
June trip...Bree & Gray snuggle time
We went to Trafalga in Lehi since it was a part of the Pass of All Passes which meant it was pretty much free. Sadie is quite the rock climber. This was the first time I got to see her in action and she just zipped up the wall. Emmy started and then was screaming bloody murder so we pulled her down quick. 

The girls rode the frog jumper at least 15 times.
They made friends with the other children that rode it over and over again too. It was pretty dead when we went so the kids didn't even have to get off the ride in between turns. 

My Mom was so awesome to go out there with Emmy and just get soaked with Sadie and her water gun. After awhile we both had to bail and send the girls out on their own to have more fun.
We spent most of our time at my parents pool and fought over the gold chair.
Lisa had ferrets for a few days and my girls were thrilled!!
So glad to have Lisa and Nanny and additional sources of comfort for my emotional girls :)

I wouldn't normally post such a bad pic of me, but boy Bree is just so stinkin cute I had to for memories sake!
One of my good friends from HS was getting married and it was so great to go to her reception and meet her husband. Her Mom had made the most amazing Indian food and I got to hear all about their special Indian marriage ceremony.
Lisa and I always like to go on adventures and find new places to eat. This place boasted that they had the highest butter content in icecream than anyone in the world. GROSS! blurry pic!
Sadie had laid out all of her stuffed animals and dolls at the foot of her bed. My Mom takes such good care of us all and always has the nicest setup for my girls so that they feel comfortable and safe.

We went to Seven Peaks for the day and I didn't bring my camera so this is all I have to show for it. Sadie loved all the slides and Emmy was scared to death! Lisa was sweet enough to take Emmy to the kiddy pool area so I could go with Sadie on a few more bigger slides.
There are all sorts of animals around my parents house. We had never fed the miniature donkeys so this was a real treat. They are surprisingly very aggressive animals and were fighting for whatever dried up stale thing we had brought them.
Katie took us black light miniature golfing. We mostly just had fun looking at all of the setups and smacking the ball a few times, but her boys were really good and played it like professionals. We Stewarts just don't have any golfing blood running through our veins I guess. 

We stopped by my cousins, Liz's house, who lives super close to my parents, and she has an awesome sand area in her backyard. My girls could have stayed there all day!
