Our Trip to Utah

So we headed to Utah on Wednesday this last week and got home on Sunday. Nate's family was having a family reunion in Zion's and so we were fortunate that it was the one weekend this year that Nate had available. The drive out was long. We had to leave at 7:oopm Wednesday night and only made it a little more than half way and had to get a hotel because it was getting too late. We partied hard while we were there and deprived our kids of some sleep and then had the treacherous ride home, which ended up taking us 17 hours instead of 13. Yes about an hour of the time was stopping for dinner, but regardless it took way too long and we didn't get home until 2:30am Monday morning. It was a long drive and our kids were more than ready to get out of the car. Needless to say we have not gone anywhere for these last two days.Grandma and Grandpa J. Nate's grandparents that are 88 and 87 years old. They are great and it was great to see them.

This is Bristol with her cousin Hannah, who is a little less than a year younger than her. However, she is about the same size.

Bristol with her cousin Brenden on the way to Zions National Park for some hiking. Which we barely did any because it took us forever to find parking and then it was like five million degrees outside. We opted to go back to the resort we were staying at and go to the pool.
Kali zonked out while we were having dinner. She had only gotten a few short naps and was way tired. This was worth the documentation because she never falls asleep just anywhere. She has to be in her bed, especially with like 50 plus people around.

The ride home. Bristol got her nap in while we were stuck in traffic because a Semi rolled over off the freeway.
Kali on the other hand did not want to sleep and was so ready to get out of the car. I had to think of everything to entertain her.

Hi Nicole...I am sorry it took you guys so long to get home. We got home at about midnight, I can't imagine if it had been 2 in the morning. It was good meeting you at the reunion. Your girls are absolutely adorable. I love blog stalking, so I am delighted that you too are a blogger.
