Utah Trip

Logan and I decided to take our own little trip to Utah to visit the James' and some other relatives. This is the first trip that we have taken on our own. Logan and I felt like real grown-ups with our two kids in the back seat. We loved it! We stayed at the James' home in Roy. If there's one thing you should know about Heidi, it is that she knows how to have a good time. She is always up for anything and she has lots of energy! We did not waste any time, everyday we were out doing something fun! She took us to do all the fun things around her town. We had the best time!!!!
We went to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden.


Baylor was in HEAVEN with all the dinosaurs around! He kept saying 'WHOAAA' and 'RAR RAAAAAR'. It was so entertaining!


After the dinosaur park we picked up some popsicles and bread at the grocery store and went to the 'Duck Park'...

There were SO MANY ducks... and geese. I thought it would be fun to pose next to them for a picture... but then they got so close to me and it totally freaked me out I just threw the bread and ran away.
Baylor had fun chasing them off.



The next day I got to see my Grandma Davis! She lives in Salt Lake so we met up for breakfast and went back to her cute new house to hangout for awhile. I just love my Grandma, it was so fun to see her!


Later in the day we rode on the front runner train to the train station in Ogden. Again, Baylor loved it! He kept saying 'I want choo choo' after that.





The train station has a bunch of old trains for the kids to climb on. They love it!


The next day we went to a river. Heidi said the adults need to have their fun too. We loaded up the tubes and went down the rapids. Heidi and I started getting creative... going down head first and then Heidi had the best idea... to go down with no tubes at all. I wasn't quite prepared for that. I banged up my legs (they had cuts and bruises from the rocks) and I about drowned. This reminded me of all the crazy things I used to do back when I was fearless... and it reminded me of why I am NOT fearless anymore!!!!!!
On our last day we went to Lagoon! Logan's cousin Morgan and his wife and kids came with us. The kids had a blast going on ride after ride... and us adults had our fun too! The girls and the guys took turns going on the roller coasters and other big rides. There were hardly any lines so we got to go on tons. Our favorite was the old white roller coaster. Me, Heidi and Melanie went on it three times in a row within about 10 minutes!!! We were laughing and running around like little kids!




Baylor and Tyson got along well. They were so adorable going on rides together. All the kids loved this car ride. Logan took these cute pictures!



Wesley was named Wesley 'Morgan' after THIS cousin. I'm so glad that we got to spend time together with our families. We will definitely be doing this again!!!
We got to Lagoon right when it opened, and we were one of the last to leave. (I'm not kidding, the lights were off and there was no one around when we were walking out!) We got our money's worth and had a great time!
Thanks for the fun vacation Heidi and Ryan!!!!!

I loved it when you guys came to visit. I try to keep it fun. We don't see each other very much so we have to jam pack every thing we would want to do together in just a few days. You guys are so much fun!
