Utah-Week 3 and 1/2 July 29th - Aug 6th

July 29th not sure what we did no pictures but I think we hung out and then went to Kathy's for dinner.
 
Austin and Olivia feeding the horses behind my parents house.


Cute baby Mason (4 months old) who we met for the 1st time this trip.  Such a cute smiley boy!

 
July30th we went to the Roy Aquatic center with my mom, Rachael and her kids and Kierstin and her kids.
 
July 31st I met my friends at the Kaysville splash park, where we caught up with what everyone was doing while the kids played.  It was so fun to see them all again.
Later that night the kids went over to have a sleepover with all their Jensen/Spjut cousins.  Which I heard was a blast.  I left Austin and Olivia  to play for a few hours and then went to pick them up,  (Olivia said she would miss me so she didn't want to sleepover and Austin was too little.)  But while they where having fun my parent took Katie and I to dinner, so we had fun too.



August 1st Jason flew in around 9:15am so I went and picked him up then we went to breakfast. After we got to his mom's house he took a nap since he had worked all night and then later that night my parents took all their kids to Mandarin for dinner, except Spencer he was flying in from Boston and was a few hours too late.

 
Cousins all born in 2010...growing up so fast.







 
 
 
August 2nd Jason's family took us to Lagoon.  We had a great time.  Savannah went all the rides her dad went on.  Madilynn got brave and tried the White Roller Coaster and Spider, she was scared out of her mind but she did it.  And all our kids rode the Tidal Wave.
 









August 3rd Jason went shooting with Shawn and my dad and my mom took me clothes shopping. Later that night my parent took our kids to Owen's birthday party while Jason and I went out with all the adults on to dinner and movie.
 




 
August 4th we went to church then went to Jason's parent house for dinner and pictures.
August 5th Jason went golfing the morning with Shawn, my mom took the kids swimming, and I packed up.  Then when Jason got home we went to lunch for one last date.  Said goodbye to everyone that night...


 
August 6th left for the great state of Iowa at 1:30AM and got home around 6:30PM

Utah-Week 2 July 23-July 28th Bear Lake

This post might be a little confusing, I couldn't really get it organized the way I wanted it.
 
 
 1st thing Wednesday morning 4-wheeling

Playing at the beach

  Surfing


Madi  skiing
Olivia skiing

Savannah tried a few time to ski without her skis tied to the boat but never could get up but I'm proud of her for trying...maybe next year.


 

 Savannah and Madi were brave and went across the wake.  Savannah did it last year but it was Madi's 1st time and she really had a great time.
 

Tubing 
 

 







 
Thursday my dad had to work so we didn't take out the boat.  It was a little over cast that day anyway so we went shopping and then went over to my grandpa's beach to let the kids swim and play in the sand.  They went out and pretended they were "meteorologist for seashells", they had a whole set up and played out there for a long time.




 
 

Austin kept wanting to ski but I just didn't feel comfortable, for sure next year though, so we would put him in the tube and that seemed to make him happy.






 
 
 
 Friday night Brandon came up with his kids but it was too cold to take the boat out so we played baseball on the beach until it started to rain.  Later that night we had a fire, made smores, and did sparkler.

 
Sunday after church we cleaned, packed up and drove home.  On the way I drove by the Logan Temple so my kids could see it.
