Vacation...

Its great to be home after a week long vacation to HOT southern Utah. We started out in St. George, so much fun, and ended up in Blanding Utah, seeing everything in between. We got to see things we have never seen before like St. George (other than driving through), Zion's National Park, Lake Powell, Glen Canyon Dam and the all the tiny towns in between. One day we zipped over to Las Vegas, and with 4 children and 118 degree temps it was interesting. I have to say the best part of that day was the cheesecake Troy bought me from the Cheesecake Factory. :) The kids enjoyed M&M factory, and Jaden liked the coke in the Coca Cola factory. The kids were troopers for spending so much time in the car, thank goodness for portable dvd players.
Time in Blanding and Monticello was spent with family we don't see often enough. It was a great time, very kicked back and fun. Troy and Stockton enjoyed going shooting with his uncle, walking and all. It is fun for me to get to know his family better every year, and learn more about the times he spent down there growing up. We did many mountain picnics, family hangouts and walks down memory lane. The mountains are so beautiful down there, and the seeing all the wildlife is just amazing. We look forward every July to our time down there, it is always so much fun. Thanks for the great time family :)
