To Utah and Back Again

I did not take enough photos on this trip, but I am grateful for the few I snagged.
First stop Albuquerque, New Mexico.
We stayed in a hotel and had a park break and took the kids swimming. 10.5 hours down day one.

Day 2 we made it to Grandma's!
Day 3
Chemo day and kids visit our bestie friends ever Ashley Higbee and her cute twin girls.
Park day with friends and cousins and swimming. July 14th





Staying at the clubhouse.

July 15th
On the road again to visit Grammy and Fowler cousins in Salt Lake City.

We stopped and had lunch with Salt Lake friend Kylee and her kiddos.
Then to the beach pond with Grammy.





The little guys got tuckered.

We had a fun visit with Fowler cousins on July 16th.



Pretty view from the porch with Mark and Grammy.

After Salt Lake city we drove to Yankee Meadow and went camping and fishing with Grandma and Grandpa!










July 20th
After camping we packed up and drove home for a day and then met up with Shannon and her kids at the Grand Canyon!


















July 21st more cousin time.
Dad was really missing us by this point and so was Odin.

We went camping the next weekend for the 23rd and 24th.
 Notice Connor decided if he was stuck in a pack n play he was going to be a man about it and go commando...


 The kids had camping down by this point and are big fans after this trip.
 They learned the art of sleeping however you can while camping and getting out of your sleeping bag and freezing.
 We got back to the club house on the 24th and had some mini 24th of July fireworks celebrations. But we had to stop for some yummy food and swimming first.

 Jenna and Elara became BFF's over the summer and now need frequent phone calls to stay in touch and when will I see my best friend Jenna again Mom comments all the time. It was torture separating the two.









July 25th we hit the road with Shannon and headed for Phoenix.
Cassie and Eden were matching cousins.

We had a couple of chances to visit with Grandma and Grandad Sapp on the 27th and 28th

We went to a Burger King play place with Grandma and Eden wanted a picture with a girl she played with, and of her blue tongue from her slurpee. And Grandma blocks never disappoint.


 It was such a fun and much needed visit.
We were able to visit Aunt Nicole and cousins, Uncle Jerris and cousins, and Uncle Josh and Aunt Emily, and Aunt Janice and cousins! Whew! All were much too brief, but much needed.
The next trip we will be sure to grab more photos. This trip we were just so happy to make all the memories!

That Texas sign meant home was near and it was time to get home. We weren't too sad though because we had the Day's coming for a visit!

July 30th we hit the Alamo and The Missions here in San Antonio with the Day's
