We do some many fun things while we're in Utah, and we usually pack it into a 10 day journey. Well, this trip we decided to stay for a good month. So just think of all the things we were able to fit in, in that time frame! There was a family reunion for the Martineaus! It was held at a park in Smithfield. There were crafts, a treasure hunt, a creek to throw rocks in, food, and of course lots of family!
This kid is one meticulous painter. Everything he does, he does it with precision and a steady hand. He's always been this way. He even eats this way. So even though I didn't cover him up with a painter's shirt, there was only a pinprick of paint that made it to his t-shirt.
I dub these girls, the techno gals. I kept teasing them because everytime I would walk by their table, every single member of their family, including Uncle Lyle had their phones out texting or facebooking or something. haha. It's the reality of this day and age, but thought I'd give them a bad time about it anyway. Love them
One day, Aunty Em brought her whole family over to Whitney's and we made up a bunch of freezer meals for her to get through the transition of having Hyrum. While Aunty Em and Whitney were cooking up a storm, Uncle Michael and I took the kids to the splash park nearby.
It was fun being able to enjoy some time with Uncle Michael and wrangle those kidlets together.
After a long exhausting day in the sun, all the kids were more than happy to turn on some TV and get personally served chicken nuggets for lunch. Now that's the life!
It was off to the zoo one day! Willow Park zoo is like the dinkiest zoo that ever lived but I enjoyed it a lot! Peyton loved the monkey the most and really enjoyed feeding the ducks.
Monkey face! Remember, the monkey was his favorite? We ended our zoo excursion with a little picnic at the park.
While we were in Utah, Levi had a birthday!!!! Ihop was first on our agenda! I had soooo much fun in the car ride there with Levi. We cranked some music, we danced hard, singing at the top of our lungs. Those are the moments I never want to forget. This kid is one CRAZY fun kid to hang out with. I think we are nearly 13-14 years apart in age but I'm telling you.... it matters not!!! We have such a great time together! I love to give him a hard time while I"m there.... always refer to him as the big baby. Well it's the darn truth. He is teh baby of our family and he IS getting bigger.
Levi chose to go to the Rock Haus in celebration. Good choice I say! I had never been rock climbing, and neither had many of us.
It was soooooo fun!!!!!!!! I thought I was going to be horrible at it, but it turns out I've got pretty big guns! Levi was like a little monkey and it didn't seem like anything was a struggle for him.
Utah holds soooo many memories for us! We do so many fun things while we're there, all spent with teh ones we love the most!!!
