Utah Vacation

My dad, Grumpa, had recently retired and we had planned a big family trip to Utah to celebrate.  Unfortunately, Nate was still having a lot back pain and difficulty walking due to his fall in September, so he didn't go with us.  Auntie Dani flew with us to Utah.  The boys both did great on the flight. 

 

As soon as we had landed, collected our bags and rental car we drove to Leatherbys Ice Cream Parlor.

 

During our trip we went swimming at the hotel pool several times.

We also did a fun zoo trip.  I think the boys' favorites were being pulled around in the wagon we rented (to help Magnus get around with his broken collar bone) and the carousel.

 

 

On our downtown SLC day we did family pictures taken by my good friend, Tracy Mangum.  He captured some great moments with all of the family (minus Nate). 

 

 

 

 

We also explored Temple Square.

 

 

 

 

 

We rode a "train" and walked through the planetarium.

 

 

 

 

 

I think the boys' favorite part of the trip was spending time with the family at Grumpa and Gramsie's home.  They loved raking leaves in the yard, swinging on the swing, playing on the teeter-totter and of course, "helping" Gramsie cook. They also enjoyed carving pumpkins.

  

  

 

It was a wonderful family trip.
