UTAH 2015

Our drive to Utah began on June 18th and we returned to Ohio on July 14th.  The pictures aren't really in order, but we sure did have fun!
Repelling from Grandpa's tree

Repelling from Grandpa's tree

Ryan cried.  A lot.

Haylee had a great 6th birthday!  She's not one for doing something extravagant.  Haylee loves to swing and so I took her to the park and pushed her for a good hour.

Shad & Amy's yard is too fun!


Heritage Park and a rainbow!

I think this was Ryan's first time on a horse!

One of many bike rides with Grandpa.

Bike ride selfie!


Deer Creek trail

The kids would ride their bikes down to help Grandpa take care of the horses.

Even got to ride them!


Haylee loved all the new buttons that each new hotel room brought!  So we would immediately unplug every phone!

Woohoo!

Aaron, stick with your own sunglasses my dear.

Olivia found an old, dead snake and so she directed it.

Our first weekend there was full of BBQ family fun!  Father's Day, Mark, Shellee, Grandma Dora and Haylee's birthday were celebrated!

Ryan needed a chill-out moment and so he went in the front yard and dug in Grandma's flower bed.

Putting those hotel beds to good use!

Goop! And Sammy!  Carter saw this recipe on YouTube and so he was sure to buy some Elmer's glue while we were at Walmart so he could try this at Grandma's house.

Uncle Kevin took all the kids fishing!

Bean Museum

Cool butterfly, made of lots of little butterflies at the Bean Museum

Carter loves hanging out with Kelton.  Kelton has a wealth of knowledge in all things that interest Carter!

Carter and Max at the top of the tallest playground pyramid in the Western Hemisphere!

I got to go to dinner with some of my most favorite friends!

April colored my hair and I made her Instagram page!

Waffle Luv with Robyn Hutchison.  Robyn was my BF in Georgia.  Love this girl.

Kelton let us all come watch him fly his RC airplane.  It was super cool!!!

My dad had a bad bike crash and had to get a bunch of stitches in his elbow.  It ended up getting infected and so I called in reinforcement when my advice wasn't good enough ;)

Feeding the fish at the Children's Museum

Carter is almost as strong as a python ;)

Best water table for the babies!  We got to meet up at this museum with the Hales family!

Little Emmee loved it!

Wind tunnel

Khloee loves the water!

Ryan loved it when aunt Shonte played with him!

Haylee loved this piano that would release air into the water filled tubes when you played.

Ryan was so tired that when we got to the car, I gave him a M&M and he couldn't even finish it before zoning out!

Carter helped Grandpa blow the back patio off.

Olivia loved taking care of her little cousins.

Kevin playing with the kids.

Water slide!


Funtopia climbing walls!


they even got to free fall on this slide at Funtopia.

Carter loved the water bottle launcher that Grandpa got out.

We got to see the candy bomber fly over several times!

Carter couldn't get enough of the chickens at Shad and Amy's house.


Ryan had tons of fun too!  Can you tell?

4th of July party!

Stilts at Heritage Park

Watching the Declaration of Independence get printed at Heritage Park.

"These are just like hot dogs!"  says Sammy.

Do not eat her shirt!

The Native American performers at Heritage Park were amazing!

This barber was a great performer at Heritage Park.   Olivia was really afraid he was going to draw her blood.

We went to visit Grandma Lunt and then she got lots of visitors when too much insulin was released from her pump!

Mt. Timp Temple

Grandma!  You have to look at the screen!

That's better!  Silly Grandma.

Shad gave Carter some panning equipment.  He was so excited!  But also so so tired!

Haylee wasn't too into blowing out candles on her birthday.

This was such a sweet day!
