V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N

We are back and had a great time. It started very early on July 14th (4:30) as we flew to Utah. It was the first time to fly for Peyton and Rowen. Peyton thinks we shoud move to Denver so that we only have to take one plane!


We spent the first four days in Park City. It was a lot of fun spending time with all the Price cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. We went to the Oquirrih Mountain Temple open house, swam, hiked Mt. Timpanogous, rode the alpine slide, watched the ski jumpers and ate A LOT!! We had a great time and wish we could see our cute cousins more often.





Then we spent three days in Ogden with Grandma and Granpa Nye. They treated us too good-- it may make us invade more often. They had awesome full size bunk beds which made for great all night kid parties and a great place for kids to stash all of the tootsie roll wrappers!! We toured Weber State, went to the temple, loved a fun day ice skating, played at the park, went shopping, saw the Mormon tabernacle choir and temple square, celebrated birthdays, ran lots of mountains and ate A LOT!!

Next, we went to Avon, by way of a Brigham City tour. We spent a week there relaxing and the kids loved the chores on the farm. They were up each morning before grandma and grandpa in hopes of getting the eggs and moving sprinkler pipe while Biff and I slept in. We made a castle and sheilds, rode horses, fished, went to the opera, played volleyball, had water fights, ran some hills, rode in the boat, built the Eagle Scout Bridge, traveled to Idaho and ate A LOT!!








Then we went back to Ogden for the last three days. We went on the Frontrunner to Salt Lake and Gateway. It was a lot of fun to run through the fountain and shop. Then Elly and Rowen got a haircut at Cookie Cutter (super cute kids salon). We had such a great day! The last day we helped Skip load up some furniture, ate at the Burger Bar (heavenly!!) and seemed to spill everything-good thing we were at the park. We flew home and got here at 1:30 a.m. We are still adjusting to the time change but would love to do it all again tommorrow. We had a BLAST!!!

  3. Accidentally clicked on your site thinking it was someone else's. Didn't know you had a blog. Looks like you are adjusting just fine. Hope to see you all at the O/K wedding soon.
