Trip to Utah!

So we have taken a couple trips these last couple weeks and I need to update it. A couple weeks ago we went and saw our family in Utah. It is so refreshing to see family and get to be with them for a bit. Kylie and Peyton absolutely loved playing with their cousins and everybody else. We did lots of fun things while there...

We went to the Herriman Splash Park, which was crowded, but actually really fun. The kids had a blast and it was just fun. This was only a couple minutes from when we used to live in Herriman, so it was fun to be back there.

A trip to the Nelson’s wouldn’t be complete without a family outing to an ice cream shop. We went to Arctic Circle (which we actually miss here in Vegas because of their shakes) and everybody got ice cream. It all got eaten up, of course, and fast, too. Peyton’s and cousin Emmy’s cones both fell, but we cheered them up with more ice cream.





We also all went to Wheeler Farm. It’s crazy how none of us had been there living in Murray, but it was great to go there. Kylie kept saying that it smelled! All the grandkids looked so cute following each other. We had a lot of fun feeding the ducks, riding the wagon ride, and seeing all the animals.

Becky, Joe, Liz, and I ran a 5K together. The best part was that it was Liz’s first 5K. It was a really hard course, but we all did really good.

We were also able to see the Dennis family. We went to church with them, played games, swam in their pool, went and saw Kung Fu Panda (which the kids just cared about the popcorn, but actually act out the characters now), hung out, and Kylie even rode Megan’s horse. She loves doing that.

We had a great time visiting with family and already miss everybody. We can’t forget on the way home…we were making great time so in Cedar City we decided instead of fast food for lunch, we would eat at a sit-down place, Applebee’s. The next thing we know Peyton is pointing to his nose, and I look up and there is the broken tip of the crayon totally stuck up there. Chris took him to the bathroom and tried everything. All I could hear were shrieks. He couldn’t get it, so we decided to drive home. Luckily he fell asleep. When we got back to Vegas we had to go to our doctor who took it out, but what an experience. Silly boy!
