Here is the second installment of our trip to Utah. We were there for five weeks so it was hard to narrow down the pictures. For Claire's 4th birthday Aunt Peggy gave her a trip to Color Me Mine. Claire picked a bowl to paint. Here she is with her bowl after it was painted. Thanks Aunt Peggy...Claire had a blast!!
On the Fourth of July, my family got together at my sister's house and had our own mini firework show. Claire wasn't so sure of doing the sparklers, but by the end she loved every minute of it.
My mom and I took the girls to Temple Square. Claire had asked about a hundred times where Bryan and I had gotten married. I made sure to show her. Here we are at the Christus Statue. Claire loved this room. She was amazed at the painting of the planets and constellations on the wall (yes she called the stars constellations).
Of course we had to take a picture at the famous "wedding spot". Claire was being her goofy self while we were at temple square.
One day we visited Antelope Island. I grew up in Utah and had never visited it before. When paying to enter the park the park attendant asked to see my dad's license for the senior discount. My dad said something to the effect he gets in cheaper since he is an old man...Claire then asked me "mommy, is grandpa an old man?" I just said, "that is what grandpa called himself huh?" Here are my girls with their grandparents and the Great Salt Lake behind them.
Clarie and I walked out and put our feet in the Great Salt Lake. Claire kept complaining about the smell. This was right before we found the buffalo. Claire and Mia both loved seeing all the buffalo. They were so close to us. Claire informed us all that another name for buffalo is the American Bison.
One night Aunt Peggy brought over her wii game called Just Dance 2. We had so much fun and got a great work out. Thanks Aunt Peggy. This one is of my mom and I having a great time.
Even Bryan and Claire got into the video game. Claire had a blast dancing. I think this video game is a hit!!
Each year my family attends the Ute Stampede in Nephi. This year was no exception (we love it). There is a carnival and Claire enjoyed the rides. Thanks Cort and Ty for going on the Ferris Wheel with Claire. She loved every minute of it.
Mia went on her first carnival ride. As a family we went on the Merry-Go-Round. This pictures was taken before the ride started. Mia wasn't so sure of it during the ride. I had to go up and down with her just so she wouldn't cry. Oh well, Claire cried the first time she went on it too.
While walking into the Ute Stampede, we ran into Cotton Rosser (he owns Flying U Rodeo...all the livestock used at the Ute Stampede) he let the girls pet his horse...the only problem was Mia absolutely was terrified of the horse.
Mia did enjoy the Stampede. This was her first one and she was a night owl for it. What a great girl. She enjoyed eating cotton candy, snow cones and seeing all the activities. It was a great night.
We had a fabulous trip. We got to run in the rain, paint with water on the back porch, help eat the peas from the garden, see lots of baseball games, have lots of fun with cousins, watch movies, laugh, jump on the trampoline, find rainbows and just make a lot of fun memories. Thanks for a great trip to Utah and thanks Bryan for letting us go for so long!
