August Adventure - Part 2 - Utah

After our week in Colorado, my Mother drove us to Salt Lake City. What is normally a 7.5 hour drive was a 10 hour drive with my two littles.  Thankfully, they both did great.

We were able to spend time with a lot of cousins:   my sister's children and my nieces, Kali and Kijanna, who flew in from Kentucky.

The girls really liked playing with their older cousins.

We celebrated Noah's 9th Birthday.

We had snow cones...

and went to the park.

We visited James' sister Julie and our niece Olivia.  Elin loved playing in the backyard with Olivia. Anikka liked trying to climb up the slide.

Aunt Leina and Aunt Julie had birthday presents for the girls.

The only not-so-great thing that happened in Utah was that Anikka broke out with chicken pox.  Luckily, she had a pretty mild case but she was pretty grouchy a few of the days. Since she was contagious we were not able to see many people.
