boating trip

The kids were so excited to go on a river float. They had so much floating down the Sacramento river with family and friends.

After nearly a month of being on vacation and 44+ hours of driving, we are finally home!
the dreaded drive

much needed cleaning (the bugs are HUGE in Montana)

boondocks

Jimmy and Hannah took us to Boondocks in Draper where they live. The kids had a blast doing go-carts, bumper boats, batting cages, arcade games, and laser tag. The kids were worn out at the end of the night. We are in love with little Sophie and Nora!

dinosaur museum

One of the days we were in Utah I got to go to lunch with one of my bestest friends from college, Anna. While I was gone, Jeremy took the kids to the dinosur museum at Thanksgiving Point. Here are some of the pictures they took.

conference center

We toured the conference center while in Utah. I had never been there before and it was amazing. The kids loved looking at the pictures. Our tour guide was great and asked them a million questions, so they had to pay attention. He was Professor Price, who taught child development at BYU when I was there.

BYU

We were so excited to go back to BYU and show our kids around. Talk about memories! Campus has changed so much since we were there. Our kids were less than enthusiastic about walking from place to place and hearing story after story about each and every building. It was hot and they complained about every picture we took. Oh well, we loved it. Someday they will understand.
bowling at the wilkinson center...talk about cheap!
