Here we go again!

Well, most of you know that we've been on VACATION!!! We had a wonderful time visiting friends and family in Utah and Idaho. Here's a few pictures to see what we've been up to:


Our first few days were spent with my sister and her 2 boys. We went to the children's museum in SLC located at the Gateway, then we had lunch at the food court, then went to the fountain where children gather to get sprayed and dance to music every half hour. We had a really fun time, even though Will started throwing up right after lunch!

Then, the next day we headed to American Fork to the City Pool with my sister and her kids again. We had a great time! Then that night, we stayed in South Jordan with our very good friends, the Pettits, before heading to Idaho the next afternoon. While in Idaho, we stayed with my parents and also visited both my grandparents and ended our 10-day stay with a big reunion celebrating my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary. Here's some pictures from Idaho.
We can't visit grandma and grandpa H. without feeding the horses around the corner from their house!
We roasted marshmallows and made s'mores in the backyard with the girls' friend, Shanda.

These next pictures are from our

visit to my Gr. & Gr. J's:

Rodeo Anyone? We had a really fun time at a Rodeo later that night.
