Utah Vacation

At the beginning of October we were able to take a family trip down to Salt Lake.  Wayne's brother Paul was getting married so we decided to make a little vacation out of it and stayed 10 days.

On our way.  The kids started the trip with naps.  They were pretty good the whole way:)

Ashley and Paul on their big day.  Presleigh and Noah were super confused about Paul getting married because their other uncle Paul is already married to Aunt Juju.  They also kept asking who Paul's friend was.  We had to keep reminding them that her name was Ashley and that she is their new Aunt:)

Watching conference in Grandma and Grandpa's basement.  Presleigh and Holland were having fun wrestling around.  Holland loves her big sis.

I love this picture of Holland with Grandma Taylor.  Our kids enjoyed her so much, and got lots of books read to them:)

Presleigh, Noah and the Nevers children watching a movie.  I thought it was cute how they all lined up on the couch to watch.

Holland was such a happy baby while we were there.  She kept herself very busy with toys and exploring her new surroundings. 

We took the kids to This is the Place monument.  We walked around and talked to them about the pioneers.  They were a little more interested in the boxelder bugs that covered the monument. 

Holland loves to climb on her daddy.  She also loves to growl at him:)

Noah loves to take pictures

The next day we were there we went to Temple Square.  We explored the history museum.  They had some really great stuff for the kids.  We could have painted on these computers for hours. 


They also had some really fun dress up for the kids. 

There were a few mirror all around the dress up stuff so the kids could check themselves out.  I was trying to get them to dance, but Presleigh wasn't having it.





We had our picnic lunch out on a bench in Temple Square. 

And then the Peterson family joined us.


The kids were having so much fun running around together. 






The next day we decided to take Trax down to City Creek.  We told the kids that we were going to ride a train.  They were super excited.

Here we are on Trax.  The kids loved to look out the window and see how fast we were going.  This might have been their favorite part of the trip.  Presleigh said to me, "Why doesn't this train go choo choo?"


More wrestling.
We spent the first week with Wayne's parents.  We tried to do something every day.  We went shopping, explored temple square, this is the place, and city creek.  We enjoyed spending so much time with Grandma and Grandpa.
