Utah 2012: Part 2

A few things that weren't pictured in post one but worth the mention are:

Golfing

My kids look forward to hitting a couple holes at Hidden Valley every time we are in town. We also love the BBQ on Thursday nights. We didn't get a ton of great pictures because we have SO MANY babies right now, but the boys had a blast, like always!

Hollywood Connection

This is the Mecca of fun for my kids for some reason. They were there from 11:30 until 7:30 and never got bored. They LOVE this place, and if you go on Mondays, all-day wristbands are only $6 and it includes 5 rides, unlimited mini-golf, unlimited roller skating, and a few arcade tokens. Awesome! Grandma was kind enough to stay the whole day while the little ones went home to nap. All the boys said that aside from St. George, it was their favorite thing and they could have even stayed longer. It's also nice because it's clean, not too crowded and they are very family friendly. 

Pierce started to take a real interest in little Lorenzo

He totally wanted to get out there and skate.

Pierce loved the carousel

These boys could have bladed for hours.

Grandma...what a trooper!

One cool story I need to include: At the roller rink they had music playing and a video screen where the music video was shown. We were not skating so we didn't see the video, but Jace came over and said it was really inappropriate. Then, walked right over to the lady at the desk, told her it was inappropriate and asked her to change the screen. She did right away. I was so proud of him! He's a great kiddo.

Breakfast in the Canyon

Another item on my kids list was to go up the canyon. Storm Mountain is a great and close spot and we brought up some bagels, fruit and juice and enjoyed a lovely morning in the mountains. The boys kept themselves busy hiking the rocks, playing pirates, catching caterpillars and exploring the river. Once they saw some strange animal, they were happy to try and follow it everywhere. The babies loved the food, dirt, being outside and the ducks. Lots of fun for the whole group.

Cup O Sno

This place is a must, every time. Best snow cones around. Can't believe it took us so long to get here! Pierce loved his first taste.

Ladies Lunch

We love going out to lunch with my Grandma. One afternoon we headed to Market Street for great food and great company. I love being able to spend so much time with her when I visit. 

Things not pictured: Getting together with my great friends, Jen, Amanda, Tricia, and Molly. It was so great to see each of them. Next time, I'll remember a camera. Hours chatting with my sister. Sunday dinners with everyone. Long days at the pool. A fun city creek shopping trip. Playing in Katie's basement and on the tramp, take out with the adults, getting an iPhone, Watching the Olympics and So You Think You Can Dance and a million other things.

We had an amazing time this summer with so many fun moments, I can hardly believe we were only here for 2 weeks. Makes me kind of ache to be able to be close to family all the time. Thanks a million mom and dad for making everything possible and to my darling family for basically putting their lives on hold to play with us. We loved every moment we spent with you. Can't wait to see you again!
