Idaho/Utah

We made our yearly trip to Utah to visit Dave's family, but on our way we stopped in Idaho Falls to see my brother and his family. I don't know why we hadn't done it before because it was so much fun and I think it should become a yearly thing. The kids had so much fun playing. I woke up the first morning sick but felt better a little later. We still ended up going to the zoo, movie, and just hanging out at their beautiful house. It was perfect, Jana didn't disappoint with yummy food. Nancy and Marshall came over one night to visit, it was fun to see them. Thanks Allens.

After our fun in Idaho we headed to Utah. We had a great time with family. We had a get together on Father's Day with the whole family. The cousins had so much fun having a water gun fight, and grandpa got out his scooter and gave rides.
Our nephew, Brendan, was leaving for his mission the week we were there so Dave was able to go to through the temple with him. Later we met up for dinner with them. My kids loved Brendan, he is such a sweet guy. He loves his little cousins, he always gets in there to play with them. Ella adores him and he will be missed.
We went to the Dinosaur museum, which is always a hit for my kids. We spent a day in Provo, we went to Bridal Veil Falls and went to the BYU campus. It was so fun to walk around the campus and to see a few places we had lived. We showed Ella the condo we brought her home to as a baby.
The kids also had fun just playing at grandma's and watching movies.
We hadn't been to Temple Square for a couple of years so we went and looked around the temple grounds. Dave's parents are tour guides at the Conference Center so they helped give us a mini tour, we ran out of time.
We were also able to see a few friends, which was great.

 Her cousin Caden loved her but she was not so sure about him.
