Utah Trip: Part 2...PICTURE OVERLOAD

The second week of Utah I spent four days with my sister and her family in Brigham City. We went to the midnight showing of Eclipse which was really fun. I had never been to a opening showing like that. It was quite the experience with all the teen aged screamin girls. :) We hung out, did some crafting, swam in their above ground pool, celebrated Jaden's 11th birthday, played some rockband and just chillaxed. We had so much fun and it was good to spend time with her and the fam. Sorry, no pictures...we really need to get a new camera!

The next week Lance flew back into Utah and we spent the remainder of our trip with his family. We first stayed at his Aunt Katie and Uncle Ron's cabin in Island Park, ID. That was a lot of fun. They keep three 4-wheelers up there which Luke absolutely LOVED riding on. I didn't get any pictures... :( We floated down the river, played lots of games, toasted marshmallows and hot dogs, had a parade and ate WAY toooo much junk!!!
After the cabin we went back to Lance's folks house and stayed the rest of our trip. We had another parade around the turn-about they have in the front of their house on the 5th of July. All the grandkids decorate a bike or scooter with streamers and ribbons and ride around the circle a couple times while the parents and Mimi and Papa stand and cheer. Then Uncle Mike drives around in his car with some patriotic decorations, honks and throws candy. :) I don't think they weren't going to do it again since we did it on the 4th at the cabin (minus the kid parade part), but I think they did just so Luke could participate...we hauled his bike all the way from Texas, afterall. ;) Thanks guys!

The following pictures are courtesy of Melinda and Kim (Lance's sisters). They are not in chronological order...sorry.

Papa taking Tucker, Lucas and Delaney for a wheel barrow ride. I think this was toward the end and Delaney was just about done. :)

Lucas and Tucker going for a ride on the firetruck. :) They became pretty good buddies.

Luke and cousins in the kid parade.

Toasting marshmallows at the cabin. This was Luke's first campfire experience. He LOVED it! Not to mention the S'mores were delish!!!

This is Laneybug's greasy hot dog hair. YIKES. She's into this thing now of playing with her hair. She does it in the highchair and when she's drinking a bottle. Funny, Luke used to play with his hair when he was little too.

Luke looking in anticipation as Uncle Mike drives up to throw candy in the "parade" at the cabin. They each had a flag to wave and a little bag to put their goodies!

Collecting candy!

The first pass of the Uncle Mike parade. :) You can't see in the pictures but he had some streamers and USA banners hanging on the side of the car.

The whole gang...all of Lance's family...every last one! :)

Our little family! Delaney is already such a cheeser...although it may look like she was screaming, she was actually just smiling REALLY big. :)

Tucker, Wyatt and Lucas. These boys played so well together...and got REALLY dirty.

Aunt Katie had a bunch of metal work trucks and tractors at the cabin that the boys LOVED to play with. Shoot...I even played with them!

Three little babies sitting in a Lovesac! Bella, Gavin and Delaney. Bella was just 8 weeks old, Gavin was 7 months and Delaney would be turning 1 in just 5 days. Gavin won the chubs prize though. Just look at those cheeks!!!! :)

Me and my homie Gavin chillin'.
