UTAH! UTAH! UTAH!

A few days after getting the 'mostly all clear' from my doctor to travel (see leg thing), off we drove to Utah to visit all sorts of fun family. Here are the chain of events:

Clara not liking the drive to Utah. Had to stop to entertain.

**insert imaginary pictures of us staying at Emily's house for a couple days... totally forgot to take pictures, which included fun cousin playing, a huge family dinner with both my sisters, their kids, Pernell's sisters and famiy.... C-R-A-Z-Y **

At this point, we went and stayed with Ammie and John. Not long enough! Next time we are going to stay over there longer.

 Sunday we went to eat at Ruth's, which is this great little diner up Emigration canyon. We have always loved going there!  This time they had us on the patio, which would normally be fine since they have heaters out there, but they put us in the boondocks where there were no heaters. Burrr!! The hot chocolate was great!   After Ruth's, we snuck over to Molly's for a couple hours since she lives right on the way down from Ruths, so all the cousins could play together again. We ended up staying longer than planned because the adults (yes, all of them!) played Apples to Apples for 2 1/2 hours. Fun game!

...... and our guys. 

 Back to Ammie and John's!  Johanna stayed there too while we were there. So fun to see them all! And Grace, she is so cute! We were excited to finally meet this sweet little niece of ours!

Uncle Pernell and Grace... soo sweet and cute! 

Trip!

 Side note... I am not sure why I didn't take any pictures at Ammie and John's. But clearly, one of the girls got the camera, because we got this beauty of Trip. :)
Monday morning we went and stayed our final night at Emily's.

Trouble reunited, Charlotte and Clara.

Emily got a puppy (Great dane / Euro dane) while we were there Monday night. The puppy's name is "Betsy Jo Mega Pixel of Davis County".   Maddie is the black lab Pixel is sitting on. They get along great. :) 

The cousins... note the girls eyes... they are wishing for a dog!
HA HA HA HA HA!!!

After stocking up on Honey butter, we drove home Tuesday morning. Next time we need to stay longer, especially with how much family we have in Utah now. We didn't see any friends this round. Next time! 

And Clara? Well... the drive home was grand.
*mental note* Always travel at night.
