Utah trip May 2010

So instead of writing a whole ton about our trip to Utah I will just state the highlights.  It was a super quick trip and we really didn't have enough time to do or see everyone that we really wanted to. We also did not take enough pictures.

Highlights include
-Flying back and forth to Utah instead of driving (wine on a new shirt and lost luggage, luckily it happened to someone else)
-Jeff driving us to and from the airport even though he has his own family (we paid him in cookies)
-Dinner with the Peet's at JB's that lasted for hours (everyone was there! I love to find out what books the kids are reading)
-Sleepover with the Madsen's (New Super Mario Bros for the Wii and planting the flowers in the front yard)


-Nannie's Graduation from Carbon (seeing Alicia and Angela, taking pictures by the fountain)



-Lowe Family pictures at Pioneer Park by James Bailey (we paid him in cookies)





-Having Aunt Betty and Mema at the pictures (it really was nice of them to come and the pics looks so great)
-Playing games with Robert (CLUE and Super Mario World for the SNES on the Xbox)
-2nd Lowe Family Reunion at CLAS Ropes Course (we paid him in cookies)


-Watching Alice in Wonderland at the dollar show and working on a LOST puzzle with the Strasburg's (doing the puzzle before watching the finale... yeah what the heck?)
-Seeing Grandma Candy (she is just awesome! made us hot cereal and custard for breakfast)
-Hanging out with the Broadhead's (a blood clot the size of a soda, and played a big fish eats little fish game)
-Dinner with Billy Bear and Gordan (Mexican food is always good and great company always helps)
-Seeing Lil' Foot on her wedding day (so much green, and very yummy jello)
-Geocacheing in the mornings instead of sleeping (it seems like the sun was always up)
-Being surrounded by wonderful mountains again (lots of traffic though)

As you can tell we had a blast and can't wait until Christmas when we get to go back!

ETA   -Seeing the Ladies in Special Collections!
