Utah Trip ~ Part One

A few weeks ago we took a quick trip to Utah to see our families & we had a really great time. We never have quite as much time as we would like, and we didn't get to see some of our great Utah friends, but it was still really fun. We also managed to get a whole bunch of pictures....
Our flight there was great! Dillon has not been known to be the easiest boy to travel with but he was awesome! I think it helped that he had his own seat, and that I pulled out a brand new toy every two minutes! Ava is always great on the plane - she was especially happy with her cousin Maddie's DS - thank you Maddie!


My Mom picked us up from the airport and took us to her house, where she had an incredible meal waiting! (Hawaiian Haystacks - Yum!)

Meg, Zach, Chase & Reuben came down from Salt Lake to hang with us!


Chase and Ava played in the snow in the backyard for a while, and then Ava & Zach played with the DS.


Then we played Nerts, in true Wolsey family style! (which means competitive, loud & crazy)! Meg (the reigning Nerts queen) & I were on a team & we were supposed to dominate, but Reub & Mom and Chase & Zach kept us down...

It was freezing cold, but Dillon & Ava still wanted to play outside in the snow. Dillon wasn't totally sure what to think of the snow, it was so deep he could barely walk in it!

Grandma Wolsey & Ava & Dilly


Once Dilly got used to the snow, he explored in my Mom's backyard and found the neighbor's black cat again!


Me & Ava & Dillon Me, Mom & Meg at the movie theater. We took the kids to see 'Hotel for Dogs' and they really liked it. Dillon almost sat through the whole movie! We took lunch (yummy Cafe Rio salads) to my Mom at her school. It is fun to see her in her classroom & with all the students. We love you Mrs. Wolsey!

We were so happy to see you Mom, Reub, Meg, Zach & Chase. Thanks for everything you did for us Mom, and everyone else for making the efforts to come see us! WE LOVE YOU!

*(Part 2 is coming - that is our time with Brian's family!)

All right lady, you come to Utah again and you did not call. I would say that you are fired! I guess I will forgive you though. Do you have a webcam though? Katie had a playdate with Jamie the other day and had the best time. I was hoping to set something up with Ava. Oh and Katie now wants bangs! See what you started?!

I can't believe you were just in Utah! We are coming to visit over Easter weekend. It has been TOO LONG since we've seen you! Also, no way that is Rueben! I haven't seen him for almost 14 years and it's crazy how much he's changed!
