I'm ON Vacation!

So we've been MIA for 3 weeks now, and MAN have we had a ball here in Utah. We've done so many things and seen so many people, we've found that when you don't have a major holiday in the works, i.e. Christmas, you have a lot more "free" time to do fun things! So here's a sampling of what we've done on our vacation to the Beehive State. (This is more for my benefit in the future than for all of you, so if you just look at the pictures, I won't be offended!)

2 Movies-Up and Night at the Museum
Hogle Zoo
Dinosaur Museum
Miniature Golfing
Boondocks
Chuck E Cheese
Going up AF canyon for a cook-out
Oquirrh Mtn. Temple Open House
Went to the Church Office Building and saw Mom and Dad's Office and Temple Square
Had several BBQ's with different groups of friends
Went swimming twice
Thanksgiving Pt. Animal Farm
Went shopping to ALL my favorite stores, I don't think I missed ONE that I had my mind on going to
Ate WAY too much good food
Did not clean, cook, or do much laundry for 3 weeks, Ahhhhhhh
Had a Boren Family Carnival
Got Gavin's hair buzzed by Grandpa
Read books and snuggled
Had lots of fun jumping on the tramp with the sprinklers and sliding on the slip and slide
Spent plenty of quality time with all the cousins
Kids had 3 sleepovers! which meant 3 nights to myself :)
Missed Daddy lots while he was back in MO
Went to the "Wood Park"
Learned how to sew a bag
Bought food storage that you just can't find easily in MO
Watched the rain and thunderstorms for a week straight?! I came here for dry HEAT, not rain?!

Had an overall fabulous time with friends and family, and can't wait to do it all again next summer!!

Thanks to all those who we had a chance to catch up with, we had a GREAT time!!

And we're looking forward to being back in MO with all our friends out there, and getting back to a regular schedule and being productive members of society! :)

It was nice catching up with you in person. We had a great afternoon with the kids. You packed in just about everything there is to do when you come to Utah :) I love the bag you made, very cute.

It looks like you had a great time. Maybe we will have to get together next summer. I know there is always a lot going on when you come home to visit. That is how it is when my sister comes.

Sounds like you guys had a great time here. Maybe next time you're in town we can get together and do lunch or something. We'd all love to see you.

I am on vacation in UT right now and we have done a lot of those same things! Isn't it weird to say that you went on "vacation" to UT? It still feels like I should be living here, not visiting here.

I am glad you and the kids had a such a great time with family and friends in Utah. That was a fun and well-deserved break. But I have to admit I am glad you are home now. You have become indispensable in our ward! :)
