We have had quite the busy summer. In July mom asked if I wanted to go with her to Utah and Idaho to visit family. She had enough room for me and the kids, and needed an extra driver, so we jumped at the chance. My grandparents hadn’t met E yet, and we don’t get to go often enough so we were excited! G always has been a great traveler, and E did pretty well.
First we visited Gma and Gpa in Utah. We were there over the 24th of July which is a big holiday in UT. It’s the day the pioneers reached the Utah valley and established Salt Lake City. All of UT celebrates it though. I wish the rest of the country did as well!! :) During the 2 1/2 weeks we were there we went to 2 parades, saw fireworks, went swimming, had a family reunion, made suckers and visited lots of family! It was a blast!!

Parade #1:
Grandma is part of the DUP (Daughters of the Utah Pioneers)group in her area , so she got to ride in the parade! :)
Auntie W and Aunt H with cousin Adi came to visit while we were at Gma and Gpa’s house.
The Family Reunion was fun! This happens every year though the location changes each year. The weekend of Great Grandma’s Birthday. Her 3 living children and all the grand and great-grand and great-great-grandchildren that can, come! We have fun and games, and and auction to raise money for the next year. we all make stuff to bring for the auction and there is a quilt raffle as well! And of course a potluck with lots of yummy food!
