Summer Break in Utah

Like always, our summer break was spent in Utah.  Oh how I love the summers in Logan.  They are absolutely the best.  (Okay, I don't have a lot to compare it to but I can't imagine it gets much better than Logan.)  

Because we visited so late in the summer, we missed all the family reunions and all the regular summer festivities.  That made for a nice and relaxing break where we pretty much did whatever we felt like.

We had originally planned to spend two weeks in Logan and had booked our flights accordingly.  But it turns out one of Jeff's classmates wanted to switch him days in the Emergency clinic so we were able to switch our flights and come home a week earlier.  We kept it a secret from my family so we could surprise them...  And surprise we did!  It was fun to see the look on their faces when we showed up at my parents house.  We ended up putting Trey on my parents door step while Jeff and I hid.  My nephew Carson answered the door and stood their for a second just looking at Trey, and finally said, "Hi Trey!"... Trey pushed himself right in and greeted the rest of my family in the living room where they were totally confused as to who this child was and why he looked SO much like Trey!!  Haha.  I think my mom was so shocked she was at a loss of words.  All we could hear her saying was, "Oh my gosh!!  Is that TREY??  Is that Trey??  Trey??  TREY'S HERE!!"  It was pretty hilarious.  Anyway, I'm glad we were able to surprise them because our last attempt had been a complete failure.  {Ahem... Cortney}

We were able to go to the Cache County Fair a couple of times that weekend.  Trey loved looking at all the animals and watching all the people.  I personally like to go for the food.

All four grandkids at the fair.

Of course I spent some quality time with my friends.  This is the only picture I got and it's not even of my friends.  (Sorry guys)  We got together and made dinner and stayed up chatting into all hours of the night, and the following day we went to "The Help"  then picked up some dinner and went to Stacey's afterwards.  This is when Trey came over and was less than pleasant company.  At least the dog kept him entertained for a bit.

We spent some time at the Splash Park. (which is much different than the ones here in Pittsburgh)

Utah needs to step it up!

Did I mention Trey LOVES basketball hoops!?

And also the riding lawn mower, the wheel barrel, and the horsey...

Trey was actually terrified of the horse (pictured above), for about the first two weeks.  Every time we'd walk by it, he'd freak.  Then one day he decided to give it a try and what do ya know... he LOVED it and always wanted to ride it.

We went up Logan Canyon with my family and had fun making tin foil dinners and roasting marshmallows.

We took a trip down to Bountiful one morning to go visit my Grandma Western.  I always feel bad we don't get to spend more time with her.  My brother and his wife met us there and we all enjoyed some lunch together.

Playing with cousins at Grandma Kathies.

We celebrated Jeff's birthday. (multiple times)  He is now the BIG 29.  He is getting so old!  :)
On this particular celebration, we had dinner and cake and ice cream with his family.
We also had a birthday dinner with my family but there is no picture.

We spent an afternoon over at Angie's playing on her blow up water slide.  It was a hit.

Birthday celebration #3.  Jeff and I went out to dinner at Indian Oven.

And birthday celebration #4.  Went to dinner at Firehouse.

And last, but certainly not least we spent a few days up in Bear Lake at Jeff's condo.
The first night we had some good friends from Pittsburgh come stay with us.  They just graduated this last year and we miss them dearly.  :)
Our kiddos had a good time together.

It was the perfect time to go because there was hardly anyone there.
The boys (and Hallie) played some ball out on the lawn.

We spent some time at the beach.

Swam at the pool...

Played games, went to La Beau's, and had a great time.  Oh yes, and Tiffany lost in a bet and had to act like a monkey.

The second night we had some of Jeff's friends and their wives come up.
We pretty much did all the same things that we had done the previous day.
All three of us wives have a little boy and one on the way.  So far two of the three are gonna be girls.  So fun to have babies around the same time.

These pictures were taken at my Grandma's the day before we left.
Bryn and Trey became good little pals.

 

The End.
