Crazy Utah Trip

So we just went on a very long trip to Utah. We left Wed. the 6th about 5:30pm. (That is another story in itself. We were going to leave right when Tanner got home from school at 3:30, but about 3:15 as I was loading the last thing into the car, I told Kirt to make sure he had his temple recommend. He checked and said he had it, but then he noticed that it expired last month. So we had to wait around for 2 hours while he got it renewed. Thankfully we were able to get it done so he could attend the weddings.) We drove about 4 hours and stayed the night in Deer Lodge.
Thursday we got up and drove the rest of the way to SLC. We got there about 3:30 and quickly took the kids to the pool. We thought we had enough time to do that before Lacey's 6pm session. We did not have as much time as we thought, so we didn't get the kids to Kirt's parents hotel for Lindsey to watch. I just dropped Kirt off and he went by himself. I'm glad he was able to be with his sister, but I was sad because I haven't been to a live session in a long time and was looking forward to going.
Friday was Lacey and Mark's wedding and pictures and luncheon. Always so much fun with whinny kids. We went to the children's museum with the Hatches afterwards. Then the 3 hour drive to Vernal.
Saturday we helped set up for the reception and visited with Kirt's grandparents. As we were setting up for the reception, Lindsey and Kyle announced that they were getting married in August. Congrats.
Sunday we went to church in Vernal and then drove out to Alpine to see my friend Candice and her family. It was so great to see them. The kids had so much fun in her back yard swinging from the tree and hypnitizing chickens. We went to visit Kirt's cousin Ben in his enourmous house in Cedar Hills.
Monday we went to the zoo with the Hatch family and Aaron and Kim. Afterwards we got to see our friends the Hilbigs and Travis. It is great to catch up with everyone.
Tuesday we got up and drove to a cabin at Bear Lake. Everyone came. There were 20 adults and 15 kids crammed into one house. It didn't matter that it was a pretty big house. That is alot of people. It was tons of fun. We stayed there Wed. and Thurs. too.
Friday we got up, cleaned the cabin and went to Logan.
Saturday was Brett and Kristie's wedding and luncheon. We were going to go up to Pocotello for the reception that night and stay there, but we had had it. So we left after the luncheon and drove all the way home. It was a long drive, but it is so nice to be home. It was great to see everyone!
