The Wild Wild WEST

We've been home almost a week from all our adventures. The pictures are already posted on Brian's blog, but I have been busy doing laundry! he he he. We had so much fun with family and friends. Here's a very brief recap:

• We stayed with Jason & Teresa, Kyle, Kate & Kallin in Kaysville. We went miniature golfing, played outside, went to the Gateway Children's Museum together, and Brian & I even got to spend our 5th anniversary together ALL ALONE, thanks to Teresa! (We ate at a fancy place at Gateway.) The kids loved being at Jason & Teresa's house!

• We also stayed in SLC at the Red Lion Hotel. We got to visit Lena, dropped in on Matt & Alana Stowe, and Jessica & Peter Osborn. We also got to spend some time at Daybreak with my sister Jody & her kids. My neice Sara even caught a fish! We drove to Provo to see Katy LaPierre. And we shopped at Cabellas, a great hunting store.

• Then our biggest adventures happened in IDAHO. We drove through Idaho Falls, and stayed over at Carrie & Mark Hill's place. The Hiltons joined us there and it was a huge party in the Hill's back yard!
  
• Sun Valley, ID was the GRAND FINALE! Amazing food, beautiful sights, horseback riding (mine was named Hermione), riding a chair lift to 9,000 ft., watching an awesome ice show, and hanging out with "Grandma & Grandpa with the cowboy boots", cousins, and brothers & sisters were among the highlights. The picture of the 5 kids in a line features all the THREE-YEAR-OLD cousins! Conor is the oldest.
  
• We had a blast. A classic line from the trip was Conor saying, through his tears, (at the very fancy buffet dinner & ice show) "I want to go home to Arlington, MASSACHUSETTS!" He was very happy to get back on the plane to go to his house.
  Ahhh, all these bags! And then a day later we packed up again to go up to VT to Camp Joseph...........
