Our trip to Utah was planned around the wedding celebrations of Curt's younger brother. We were in Utah in April for the other twin's wedding so it was especially great for June to see her cousins: 1. She is old enough to remember them and really play with them and 2. It was so recent she was really longing to see them all (and now tells me several times per week we should just go to Utah on an airplane and sleep at Isaac's house...)
June was born a traveler.
The timing was perfect with my mom coming home from her temple mission in Manhattan. We got to be part of a big welcome home surprise at Kristin's house. The grandkids mauled her with hugs. My kids don't understand why Grandma is still in Utah....
Dress up with cousins is always better
Cousin Alexa taking care of her baby
We got to go to the Gateway Children's Museum with the Sanders
The cousins took such good care of June and Anson!!
We had snacks and hung out at the Gateway after
We enjoyed the Hogle Zoo with the Lindbergs - June loves her cousin Isaac so much
Anson's baby elephant walk is adorable.
We spent time at Russ' house too. Eli and Ian thought June was a lot older than 2 years old so they were surprised when she couldn't do the things they could (while the parents played Dominon, which we love now).
We also stopped by Grandpa Arn's grave with flowers
We got to see Erin and her family- always so fun!
Anson had a great time in Huntsville and we had to baby-proof a lot of areas again. He is quite persistent with finding things he shouldn't.
June and Grandpa worked on the yard
and played a TON (June LOVES back yards! What a foreign concept-she's never had one)
The sealing was beautiful and we loved being at the temple with our family
Soaking in all the time with Miranda before she left to Canada on her mission
Weddings are exhausting for everyone
Miranda and I made the wedding cake
Final project (6 recipes of cake and tons of Grandma Gatrell's frosting later)
And Daddy let June have it for breakfast (any Cosby Show fans? That's an episode worth looking up...cake for breakfast!)
More baby elephant
Loving her cousins
Games and conversations on the back porch
Touring the gorgeously renovated Ogden Temple
Digging into Nana's peanut butter
A peaceful red-eye home. Daddy and the kids slept the entire flight.
