Utah trip: Kaysville cousins!

We stayed with my sister Emily while we were in Utah. We especially wanted to spend time with Andrew before he left on his mission. Plus their house is a party.

My brother Ben and his family live there also. We didn't see Ben much, since he was doing the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City, but we loved getting to know his baby Margot!

We didn't have any huge plans while we were there. We just wanted to spend as much time with the fam as we could. There was lots of silliness, games and laughter.

 Sabrina is a character! 

Daniel is  tall! They're hoping his feet stop growing or else he'll have to special order all his shoes.

Tim works at Arctic Circle - he got us a discount on our ice cream cones. He is so funny, I could talk to him all day!

We were going to go to the air force museum one day (we still have never been there), but then we realized it was closing soon, so we went to a park with a fun water pad instead. It was awesome! And free!

We suggested swimming suits, but Chloe was the only one in my family to put one on. I don't think they knew just how wet they would be getting!

I love Sabrina's hair! She probably gets tired of hearing it, but it so dramatic and curly and pretty! 

We gave all of Chloe's clothes to Kate, and she passed them on to Margot! I was so happy to see her wearing them!

 We helped Tim cross off an item from his summer bucket list: get duct-taped to a pole.

While we were at the park, we launched paper rockets with Troy's air compressor. It worked great!

Alison's summer job was babysitting Margot while Barbara worked. It was nice to have her around all week.

Margot is a very sweet, easy baby, and she warmed right up to me - almost like she already knew me! You can't help but take that personally.

 After shooting the rockets vertically for awhile, they started aiming them at each other.

Peter had his birthday while we were there. We made dry ice cream to go with his cake. He was the only one who had made it before, and he was a little vague on the amounts. 

It was hilarious! First, they put it in a smallish bowl, but it obviously wasn't going to fit. So they transferred it to a bigger bowl, but it quickly overflowed that one too. I love the progression of Emily's face! And Sabrina laughing hysterically in the background! Finally, they put it in an even bigger bowl, and that worked. It was all very exciting.

We went to a wave pool on Peter's actual birthday.

A couple days later, Spencer, Tyler, Dallin, Brennan and Peter went to Lagoon to celebrate Dallin and Peter's birthdays. They had so much fun!!! And Brennan was able to ride ALL the rides. He was so happy!!
