Utah Trip

We love visiting Enterprise so much that we keep traveling the 16 hours it takes to get there! Here are some (well a LOT) of the things we like to do.



There's always lots of swimming.

Playing ......

or torturing new little puppies.


Hanging out with Grandma
Going "arrowhead hunting" with Grandpa. I wonder why you had to be right around Grandpa to find any?

Hanging out at the Cabin.
With piles of dirt to play in.

Taking turns looking through the binoculars for elk or mustang.


Going hiking.

Where Gunner asked Grandpa if we were in THE middle of Nowhere.

Exploring in, on, and around old abandonded mines at State Line.




Doing a little cleaning while locked in the cabin.
Taking in the beautiful view after a 4-wheeler ride.

Getting as messy and dirty as we can!


So much fun at the cabin.

Couldn't get enough of this precious little (big) :) cutie.
Getting into things we shouldn't.
Can't forget Pine Valley.
Delicious ice cream treats.

After playing in the firepit...
again....
and again....
Getting stuck in the car seat for the rest of the time. (Mom was tired of chasing)
Wading with cousins in the creek.
And daring to go through the tunnel.




Made it!


Rides in the Rhino are always fun!
Up to the "E" hill.
for a view of the town.

But it's lots more fun to go fast with Uncle Rand!

The best part is playing with cousins all day long!


We also got to go to Tuacahn and see Tarzan, one of my favorites that we have been too. The kids enjoyed it too, and were re-enacting later at Grandma's.


Then it was home again home again on the long drive! They are little troopers, and Malia and Gunner do very well now. We just can't wait for Cooper to get to that stage.

How fun!! I love the picture of Cooper in the car seat after you had to chase him around forever. Jeff ended up in his stroller for most of our camping trip. I got so tired of digging things out of his mouth :)

I loved that you tied him up to his car seat! Made me laugh. He looks like such an angel every time I see Cooper but I guess he give you trouble too. Anyway, did you drive the 16 hours alone, without Ian? If you did you are a better woman than I am and I am VERY impressed!!
