Utah

Oh how I miss the Utah Mountains!
I went home to Salt Lake City with C to visit my family a couple of weeks ago. I forgot how WIDE the roads are and how much space there is in the aisles of grocery stores. Most of all I forgot how magnificent the mountains are! We were able to spend the day in the Spruces with my family going hiking and hanging out, it was so beautiful!

Hiking in Utah means straight up! Here are my two cute nieces and my sister-in-law with baby #3 on the way!

Here is my whole family.
2 parents
3 kids
2 in laws
1 fiance
2 grandchildren
1 grandma
(1 grand dog not photoed)

We got to hang out with lost of our family and friends, it was so great to see everyone! It is very difficult to fit everyone in with such a short period of time.

We also had the opportunity to go boating, swimming and eating lots of fried chicken, hamburgers and CAFE RIO!! I love all the Summer BBQs, there is no food better!

Christian thinks he is some sort of pirate type karate kid on our boating expedition on Echo Reservoir.

Going tubing! I love being on and near the water, there is something so calming about it!

Here's my dad giving C the low down on how to get the wake board on. After 27 tried C did make it up (for about 3 seconds). He did improve and hats off to him for trying! He was pretty sore the next day!

Thanks Lori for letting us use your boat! We had so much fun!

Here is Pop and I, he is my cute great grandpa!
Below is my grandma Lucile who I am named after.
I love to see my family! I miss them so much!

Thanks to everyone for making our trip so enjoyable! We miss all of our Utah Peeps lots!
