Utah Trip!

We finally decided to take a trip to Utah...DRIVING! We did good though. Brett drove through the night and the kids slept! The quiet was very nice. We started our trip with Brett's friends the Matthews. My favorite part was Rodizio's : yummy food & all you can eat (a Brazilian grill!!! ). I also had a chance to see some friends that used to live in Seattle: the girls had fun being princesses and dancing and singing (see you soon Mindy!). The next stop was Logan to see my dad and grandpa. We also had a small family reunion, went to park city and did some swimming. On the way home we stopped at my grandma & grandpa McGill's house for dinner. They didn't want us to go but we had to leave. The best part of our adventure however was in Logan. My dad took us on an EASY 8 mile hike to a lake, or so we thought. the trail was steep, Rachel was tired and after treking the 4 miles up we wondered if we would ever get down! I had Jayden in a backpack while Brett carried Rachel piggy back while she was sleeping all the way down!! (Way to go STUD!) We were done hiking for this trip since I forgot to put sunscreen on again for the hike down. I was the only lucky one and was burned on the backs of my legs and arms. Usually my burn will be gone in the morning, but this one stayed for a week! It is just now gone!!!! Thank goodness for Aloe! All in all it was a good trip and we enjoyed seeing everyone! Now time to party it up with my big sis. who will be here for a month!! I love summer!!!
