Utah Trip

Back in the middle of March we took a trip down to Coalville, UT to visit Ryan's mom and celebrate her birthday! It was a quick trip leaving Thurs right after work and came back Monday night. The boys did really well for having to drive so much in such a short amount of time. But after driving to and from Wisconsin last summer I feel like we can do anything!



Ryan rigged up a string system to hold the tablet so the boys could watch one of 2 movies we have on it. It was either Cars or Fox and the Hound :)

We had to stop at Culvers in Twin Falls. Culvers was started in Wisconsin and has slowly made it's way out west. Super good burgers, fries and rootbeer!



We got there Friday around dinner time. After eating we went over to the park to run around after being cooped up in the car all day. It was fun seeing Laurie and Evan, Jenna was at a softball tournament so we didnt get to see her til Saturday night.



We made the most out of our time in Utah and had THE BEST WEATHER!!! Oh man it was sunny and 70s and we hadnt felt anything relatively close to that for way too long. I felt like my skin was turning green from all the rain we were getting in Washington. So this trip and the weather I felt was heaven sent!
We pretty much spent all day down in SLC. We went to the planetarium first which was this free kids museum with a lot of space/science things. It was awesome!





Vince had so much fun with uncle Evan and wanted to do everything Evan did :)

I dont have any pictures but during lunchtime we went to a big park in South Jordan for the boys to play at. After we went back to SLC and visited the Church History Museum which was really neat. 
I LOVE Temple Square. So many amazing things to see and of coarse the glorious SLC temple right in the middle.



After that we went to Tuscanos for dinner to celebrate Lauries bday. Of coarse, the food was amazing and we were all stuffed to the brim





Sunday we went to church then back down to SLC to tour around temple square some more. Again we had beautiful weather and got to take in all the beauty.







It was so neat to be able to bring our boys here and show them the Christus and all the beautiful painting and the feeling of the Spirit. Such a wonderful place!




We came back home and had some family friends over for dinner. It was so good to see Brett and Janny Richins! After dinner we went on a hike to pretty much the highest point in Coalville, It was fun to climb up and get a good view of the town. We even saw some deer!




Playing some games with grandma and aunt Jenna before leaving the next day

We had a good visit and it was fun seeing the family!

Stopped at the Boise temple on the way back

Last stop before home!!
