Our big summer vacation consisted of a trip to Utah to see both sides of our family. First, we went to Bear Lake to spend a week with the Burnetts.
Day 1: Saturday, June 20 - fly from Austin to Salt Lake City, rent cars to drive from SLC to Bear Lake (about 2 hrs away). Meet up with Nana and Papa, and Angela and her 2 little girls.
Day 2: Monday, June 21 (Father's Day) - church in the morning, resting and playing in the afternoon, dinner, and "Glow in the Gospel" family night presented by Nana & Papa
|
We made Father's Day pancakes for lunch! |
|
This little playground was right out the back door from our room,
The kids spent A LOT of time here. |
Day 3: Monday, June 22 - Minnetonka Cave, arrival of Doug & Emily, baby shower
|
We were so excited to celebrate the upcoming birth of Doug & Emily's 1st baby. |
|
Doug's all ready to be a Daddy. |
Day 4: Tuesday, June 23 - beauty spa, swimming, tea party, and princess ball
|
The only male cousin in the family was unable to attend, so we took advantage of our all-girl crowd to do some pampering -
face masks, pedicures, manicures, and hair styling. |
|
My beautiful girls. |
|
SO nice to have a swimming pool on the property where we stayed. |
|
Tea Time! |
|
Nana's homemade play doh. |
For our fancy princess ball we crafted dresses for the girls out of plastic tablecloths and streamers.
Day 5: Wednesday, June 24 - Bear Lake!!!
|
We rented a paddle boat . . . |
|
and a kayak. |
|
And Russ's feet paid the price for his day out in the sun. |
Day 6: Thursday, June 25 - family history games
Doug & Emily were in charge of Thursday's activities. They did an awesome job of coming up with games and activities revolving around family history - long past or more recent.
|
Re-enacting a story about Great-Grandpa Ivan Burnett playing the piano. |
|
Another re-enactment, this time about when Great-Grandpa Jay Foley met Great-Grandma Eva. |
|
In this activity we compared each of the kids to a bunch of ancestral photos to look for family resemblances. |
Day 7: Friday, June - cleaning up, packing up, driving down to Utah County
It looks like you had a wonderful time!
