Laura's Utah Visit

Last week Laura and her cute kiddies came to Utah for ten days! We love it when they are in town and can't get enough of them. It worked out nicely because my parent's had their week at the cabin while Laura was here. I was up at the cabin from pretty much Thursday-Monday and Trevor came up Saturday-Sunday. We had the whole gang except for Alan and Michael at the cabin at one point. It was so nice to be together. We had a blast!

On Friday afternoon we went to lunch at the Dairy Keen in Heber. They had the most awesome beverage machine ever! My family NEEDS one of these :)

After lunch we went to the park so that the kids could get some of their energy out! The kids started racing and Papa decided to get in on it. It was hilarious! That is, until he pulled his hamstring.


Saturday my mom and I went on a walk and the rest of the day was full of four-wheeling and lounging around!

{We made it about three houses up before the kids started complaining that they were tired so we turned back around and took them back to the cabin.}

{Even Mom and Dad got in on the four-wheeling! This is picture worthy.}


Trevor is super uncle! He does it all; four-wheeling with the boys, holding Hannah, even playing in the rain with all the kids!

{Mary couldn't resist getting in on the water fun.}

That night after we got the kids situated watching a movie downstairs and the adults played Catch Phrase and the Oreo game. After we mastered the regular version of Catch Phrase we added in some funny accents. We laughed and laughed; an unforgettable memory for sure.


On Sunday we went to Sacrament meeting in Heber. After that we had a BBQ and the kids made a huge dance floor on the deck and we had a dance party outside. I even whipped out my round-off backhandspring (it was a dare and I couldn't chicken out).

On Monday we cleaned the cabin and then Laura and the kids, my mom, and I headed to Park City to do some shopping. We got some good deals!


On Tuesday night we met the Hammers at the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. It was delicious, as always. Thanks for dinner, Dad!

Thanks to Mom and Dad for their amazing cabin and for all the food/snacks/good times we had!
