Summer Vacation. Utah Chapter

Delayed again. I've had this post as a second half to a previous post, but I'm really bad at prioritizing. So here is more of our summer.


After our Missouri and Iowa visits, we headed on a road trip home. I didn't realize that there really isn't much of anything through Nebraska and Wyoming. We randomly ended up in a place called Sidney, Nebraska. It seemed to be town of nothing but hotels for tired traveler, but we couldn't seemed to find a room. We soon found out it is the town of the original Cabella's and the World Headquarters. Who knew? We also happened upon this odd little sight. What are these things? They are really big scary metal beasts. It's not everyday you pass this view on the freeway.Our stop in Utah seemed brief. We were able to see Greg's sister Lauren come home from her mission and his whole family was there. It was great to see everyone. Every second was planned and packed and no one seemed to catch up on their sleep, but we had a great time. Thomas got to meet more of his cousins and I think he enjoyed himself.

Waiting at the airport for Sister Taylor.





Family BBQ



Cousin/Uncle time. It is so funny how Greg can entertain his nieces and nephews. They love him.

Swimming at Steve's (Brother-in-law) family property. Molly got to come up. YEAH!!


Clearly a lot of people were jealous of our tans.


We finished our trip by stopping at Bryce Canyon in southern Utah and Montezuma's Castle near Sedona. That post will come another time.

6 months

Someone turned 6 months yesterday. Everyone always says it goes by so fast, and they are right. I really can't believe it. I want him to stay 6 months for another year. He is so cute right now.
