Utah Trip- PART 1

In July, we took a fabulous 10-day vacation to Utah!  I miss Utah SO much, and it was wonderful to go back and show my kids all the things I love so much about it….The family, the old friends, the FOOD!, the beautiful mountains, BYU, the shopping, etc.  The list goes on and on.

The original reason for the trip was my O’Bryant family reunion which takes place in Altamont, UT every other summer.  But since we were making the trek out there, we decided to extend our trip and go a few days early, and stay a few days after as well.  It just so happened that Grant’s parents were in Utah for our first weekend.  Perfect!  We loved seeing them, as well as some of Grant’s other relatives.

On Saturday morning, we met up with some of Grant’s old mission friends….The Holdaways and the Davises, for a FABULOUS breakfast at Kneaders.  We LOVE these families!  We all get along so well and I love that we can just pick up right where we left off.  It was as if no time had passed.  I hope we always keep in touch with these wonderful friends!!

 

Even the kids became fast friends! 

Before Grant’s parent’s left, we met up with them at the famed Iceberg for some delicious milkshakes….By far, the best shakes in the world!  Maddie loved showing G&G her newfound walking skills!

I love this:

Olivia demonstrated her ballet moves in front of an old Mustang that was parked by us.

Doreen is always such an entertaining Grandma.  Olivia thinks she is so funny!  Here, Doreen was wearing all of Olivia’s jewelry and posing so she could take her picture.  This picture just sums her up…I love it!  Haha!
