Our Utah Adventure

I guess I didn't take any pictures of us getting to Utah, but me and the kids had a great time...Seriously. They were amazing in the car, especially between home and Boise. We met up my Mom and Dad at a hotel in Boise and had lots of fun eating Pizza and playing in the pool! On day two we were so glad we had the DVD player, we lost Grandma and Grandpa en route to Lehi, but ended up getting to Brandi's just a few minutes behind them. We had lots and lots of fun, but here are a few of the highlights...
We went to Chuck E Cheese, which was so fun, the kids had a blast, and it wasn't very busy, so there were a little more free to run, which was awesome! the boys spent most of their time driving everything that had any kind of wheel.

Maeli fell in love with the "picture ride." It snaps a photo of you while you sit totally still and then it draws it for you...we have about 10 pictures of her and everyone else she could get to sit with her.
They didn't even mind when the ride weren't moving.
Even Grandma and Grandpa had fun.
This was my favorite, especially with the team effort.
Riker actually won all these tickets, although he didn't care too much about the prizes when all was said and done.
One day took the train to Salt Lake. The kids had a lot of fun, it was their first time on a train! It looks like Grandma is having lots of fun too!
My beautiful sister was such a great hostess...we invaded her house, had toys everywhere, tormented her dog, took over her bed, woke her up at all hours of the night, and she just kept smiling!
Maeli really wanted to see a temple. She was so mad that we couldn't go inside, but she loved seeing the Salt Lake Temple. There were a few weddings going on, so she also got to see some "beautiful brides."
Tucker thought the Organ at the Tabernacle was pretty cool, although the guy was either tuning, or repairing, and not playing any music...he sang along with the individual notes though.
The LDS church history museum has a whole part for kids where they can play with everything! Maeli loved dressing up and trying to dance with the video of Latin dancers.
The boys really loved harvesting all the veggies from the garden!
More things to drive--best vacation ever!
Grandma was the grand champion of the tortilla toss
A cookie break!
Best picture ever!

Alright, I have a bone to pick with you. You were in Utah (which I've been trying to get you to come to for forever) and you didn't call me? Beth, Beth, Beth...
