Around our house, we speak of Utah like most kids speak of Disney Land. There is nothing but fun things to do and fun people to see all the time. It kind of makes home pale in comparison. We wish we could play with our favorite people more, but since we can't we just talk about our Disney Land and all of our favorite people all the time.
Thank-you Jupaws for proving yourself every bit the hostess that your Mom is. You know how to throw one FABULOUS tea party! Did we stop eating the whole time we were at your house? ...oh ya, we took a few play breaks too. You may have noticed the 3 little hurricanes that ripped through all of your fun toys!
Ashie and Coach proved themselves super cool cousins, even while battling the sickness of their young lives!
We were all happy to spend lots of time with Bampa this trip. He really knows how to party!
And he is always good for a snuggle and a swig of Diet Coke.
Uncle Chocolate Cake, errrrr... I mean Uncle B is always a good time. We love everything about him and Aunt Melissa (their bakery is just a fringe benefit).
Everybody in the family LOVED the sleepovers. I don't have many pictures of these events, as they were closed to all parents. We snapped these shots on a surprise drop in. From what we can gather there were lots of tea parties, story times, and jumping on the bed. Not so sure about actual sleep (isn't that how it is supposed to be?). Any grandparents with pics to either support or debunk our theory are surely welcome!
And then there is Cafe Rio. We can't get enough.
We were REALLY sad to miss seeing Cousin Nick this trip, but Uncle James made up for it by being extra cool. Tadpole still likes to ask if he can, "Go see Uncle James".
We will never get enough time doing THIS!
It is tough saying good bye to so many people that we love. We wish we could pack you all up and take you with us. Unfortunately we definitely meet our luggage limits these days. We thought maybe we could squeeze one or two of the little ones inside a carry-on. We did our best to squish them inside.
In the end we were so exhausted we could barely drag ourselves back to Massachusetts.
Even when we got here we could barely hold our heads up. Superkid takes the record though, he slept 17 hours the day we got home and only got up then because I drug him out of bed to see if he was up for a day of school. He said he was, but after he got home he went right back to bed for a nap.
One thing we will NOT miss for sure is "The Desert Itch, " in Superkid's words. These Toads all look like scaley lizzards!
