Summer Vacation - Utah

Warning: this post contains a mountain of pictures 

(and it seriously doesn't even cover all the great stuff we did 

while in Utah with my fam)

Grandma was granted her fondest birthday wish -
to have ALL her family gathered together

Girl outing to see a children's production of "Cinderella" at Hale Center Theater

My sister Linda's wedding was the driving force behind our trip.
Off to the temple!

Adam (my brother) and his son, Rafe. Handsome as can be.

Waiting for the Bride & Groom

The happy couple - Linda & Jared!

Another happy couple - Nate (my bro) and Kristine

Sisters

Wedding luncheon at . . . um . . . some nice restaurant I can't remember the name of.

 Wedding Reception

Lovely location - the kids ran around together all night long and had a ball

New children's museum at Thanksgiving Point
(too crowded for me, but the kiddos had fun)

Picnic at the park with the extended Walton family

On the way up to Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon

Playing at the Falls - the kids hiked up really far

Family Night at Nate & Kristine's house

Got to visit with dear friends (and their chickens) from Delaware
who have recently moved to Utah

Ashlyn did preschool with these kids when they were all 3 years old

Open House for the Ogden Temple

Swimming at the Provo Rec Center -
seriously a good thing that we had a 6 to 10 adult to child ratio
(thanks for coming, Linda & Jared!)

Opening the Wedding Gifts (can't you just feel Jared's excitement?!)

Adam's kids were so exhausted they both fell asleep
during a 3 minute drive from Grandma's house to the park

Bocce Ball

Grillin' and Chillin'

Following around a random man with a metal detector
was the cousin's favorite activity at the park

Newly Remodeled Bean Museum at BYU
(not pictured here, but they Boyd K. Packer room is really cool,
if you get a chance to visit)

Still to come, pictures from our awesome "Despicable Me" movie party. :)
We LOVE vacation!!!
