Utah or bust

For September we were fortunate to get time off to go to Utah to visit "Super" Grandma Jackson for her 80th birthday party. It had been a long time since we had visited with her, Chuck and Odie, and Sue and Dan. As a bonus we also got to see Grandma and Grandpa Jackson too! 
 Of course the big day it would rain! But, the garage provided ample space for a classic back east style party.

 Dan and Chuck were complete suckers, gladly accepting the invitation to "wrestle" with the kids every chance they got. The kids fight dirty, so it can be a perilous venture to play like this with them. The kids loved it though. They had so much fun with all the aunts and uncles that they had never met or didn't remember meeting cause they were too little last time. I think that we will have to make the trip out west more often.
 This is at temple square. So pretty.

We also got to visit the Foote's! We made a trip up to Park City Utah and road on the Alpine slide which was so cool. 
 Lance and Stephanie opened their house to us. The kids seriously only got rest on the drives between the house and going to see their aunts/uncles. As soon as they would get back they would be playing with their cousins and enjoying the awesome toys like the one seen above.
