Utah Revisited

We went to Utah!! We were in Utah for 11 days and had a wonderful time! Here is the run down of our trip.
We'll start with the flights. Not so bad actually. We had a layover in Houston but traveling with Daniel make quite the difference. Here - our kiddies were really causing a stir by camping out in the middle of the terminal but I didn't care... I wanted them to get it all out before boarding the next plane. 
 We traveled on our anniversary!! Happy 9 years to us! We celebrated that night with some frozen yogurt after the kids were asleep. We are a lucky couple. 
Jack Jack was in HEAVEN with these boys. Duce and Jett... we need you in our lives every day. Noteworthy - Jack Jack's first sleepover at the Anderson house was a success!!

We ate out a lot. A lot a lot!! Too much. But it was all oh so good! We hit up the Pizza Factory among many others. 
 While Daniel was hunting elk in Wyoming with Jordan the girls finagled several girls nights out once the kiddies were in bed (thanks John and Tyler!) 
 I've already posted pictures from our family photo shoot and here are a few more that we took that same day as we spent some time in the canyon. It was so pretty and nostalgic. Wish we could have stayed longer but the kids were cold and pretty miserable. 



Our accommodations at Shelly's couldn't have been better!
 We went to a little pumpkin patch that the kids loved. They ran through mazes, played in corn and went on a hayride. It was a good time!







 We spent a lot of time at the Anderson's. It's pretty much all my kids wanted to do. It's a kids dream home. Lots of toys, a trampoline, bikes and an entire culdesac to run a muck in. I wasn't always the most diligent about keeping my eye on Ivy. Markers and the cat litter were her personal favorites. 
We went to a cute children's museum in Salt Lake City.  

 Painting pumpkins!! Jack's ended up black. 

The trampoline was a favorite. Ivy wasn't often allowed on because she always ended up in tears. But when we had a chance to get on it alone, she was thrilled.
 We went to a witchfest at Gardner Village. It was cute but crowded. We got a few cute pictures at least.


I think one of my favorite activities was a leisure bike ride on Saturday. The weather was absolutely beautiful. 
I was lucky to see some of my old college friends a couple of nights as well... wish I had taken some pictures of us. Daniel had no luck in Wyoming hunting elk.
