Utah Trip

We've gone on a Summer trip to Utah the last two years. This year, with Bentley arriving in August... it didn't happen. So we decided to do a fall trip! This was actually my favorite time we've gone because there was so much to do and the weather was so comfortable. We started our treck on the 6th and made a stop a couple hours down the road at Logan's Uncle Milo's home in Prosser for Logan's cousin Jake's wedding.
Callie set Jake up with his wife Madison. So that made it a little extra fun to see that they were getting married!! It was a beautiful fall day with perfect weather. Milo owns a vineyard that over looks the Columbia Gorge- the views are amazing. It was awesome!


 After the wedding we hit the road to Boise. We stayed the night at Logan's cousin's home 'The Starr house' and then hit the road again in the morning.

 Wesley and Avin were instant BFF's on this trip. They were the cutest little combo- they were so entertaining to watch. They were extra excited when they both wore their Batman PJ's!


 I had to snap a picture of this accidental cuddling I found one night. Hilarious!

 On Monday we went to the Dinosaur Park.
Digging for Fossils.

 Baylor saw this Volcano and got so excited. He said 'I've never seen a REAL Volcano!'

That night we went to the train station for dinner. It is always fun to see the trains, the kids love climbing on them.




The next day we went to the pumpkin patch. Of course we had a blast. It was so much fun to go to a new one... and this one had just about everything.

Ivrie & Bentley, just four days apart!



Next was a day in Salt Lake. We went to the new mall, walked through Temple Square and then visited my Gramma Davis and Uncle Steven.


Can you tell they were sick of taking pictures?!
Uncle Steven with baby Bentley.
Gramma Davis got us the traditional KFC. 
We loved it! It was so fun to visit her!!!
Next was the day Baylor had been waiting for for MONTHS.... LAGOON!


We weren't sure how Wesley was gonna do with the rides but he caught on real quick. He loved them! After every ride he would run up to us and give us a big hug! Then we would get in line for the next ride.

Unlike the other days on this trip, it was soooooo cold this day. After a few hours I went back to Heidi's and got some coats, hats and gloves!!


 
It was so fun to finally experience 'Frightmares' We loved every minute of it..... we loved every minute of this whole trip! Can't wait to hopefully do it again next year!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the memories James Family!!!!!!

ps. the parrot costume was so good. It looked really professional and way better made than the crappy store bought costumes. You should sew more you are really good!
