UTAH

Week 2-
Sunday, June 19th was Father's Day... I know, what kind of person goes on vacation with out their husband/father and leaves him alone to fend for himselve on FATHER'S DAY??? Yea. we felt pretty bad after we had already bought our tickets and then looked at the calender... which is why we celebrated Daddy/Justin the week before we left! We did Skype with him at the Family BBQ at Nana and Papa's. And some dear friends invited him over for lunch after church! So he felt loved!
Justin's father, Dave is an excellent gardener... every year he makes the yard look so beautiful... after seeing "Gnomio and Juliet"... we decided to get him this Garden Gnome to tend and protect his garden! :)
Monday June 20th
Lindsey and I took Caitlin and Will to Liberty Park to ride this...
above: you can see C and W in line... WE sure had fun. My favorite line from Will during the ride was this... "Whoa, I'm like SPIDERMAN!"
Beautiful afternoon by the Liberty Lake... watching the paddle boats go by.

Then we ventured over to where all the little kids were gathered... and found the cutest thing known to man... a replaka of the 7 canyons of Salt Lake City... (here we are in the mountains looking over the 'valley'.)
Our favorite canyon!!
Standing by the "capital building" taking a picture of the 'grid pattern of SLC' the man in green shirt is standing on State St. you just have to see it in person to LOVE it like i do!
Caitlin playing at the top of Little Cottonwood!
We hit our favorite doughnut shop (Banbury Cross!) and headed home to chill in the back yard... we found Brinley there being 'cool'.
C and W treated Lindsey to a foot massage!
Hugs for Nans!!
don't forget Wilbur!
Tuesday June 21-
ANOTHER POOL DAY! LOVE IT!
Wednesday June 22,
Terese and I sang at a (grave side) funeral, we sang "Jesus, Lover of My Soul". Nana and Papa Great watched the kiddos! They were in heaven... playing with the neighborhood kids... Andy's nanny set up the tent for their lunch.
this picture is a little blurry, but it's so cute of Nana and Papa watching the kids. We love sitting on this porch with them... so pleasant!
Avery and Caitlin (a little girl down the street that Nana reads to on occasion!) She was so excited for Caitlin to come and visit!
Lindsey... (I mean,) Brinley got a hold of Nans' Caffeine Free, Diet Coke...oh, she was not about to put down that "Sipper!"
nope, not on your life...

That night we went to a Neighborhood Ice Cream Social.... they had fun activites for the kids, some homemade bubbles...
face painting...
and bouncy house.
Sitting in the gutter with nets after social... life doesn't get any better than this.

Thursday June 23,
Nans and Joggy went for a bike ride... Will tried on Joggy's gear... and Caitlin's all ready for another day at the POOL!


Brinley's Kiki went everywhere with us. Yes, even in the pool.

June 24th
Nans took us to Clark Planeterium for the IMAX show, "Born to be Wild". 3D movie about orphaned baby Elephants and Arang...? O-rang-a-tanges? Orangutangiens... (Monkeys...!) that are taken care of by humans and then placed back into the wild. So sweet! C and W loved the 3D... they were reaching out trying to touch the animalsThat afternoon we headed to the CABIN to take the window coverings off and clean it up for summer use!
Saturday, June 25th was a fun pampering day... Lindsey and I went for a run, and then off to get Pedi's and a drink at SONIC and off to Gateway for a little shopping! fun fun!
