We got up at 3:00 a.m. so we could get an early start on our trip to Utah for Aunt Jill's wedding.
Maddie was assigned from her teachers at school to do an "Expert Report". She was to become
an "expert" on something and she chose to report about Utah. She made a log so she could
record mileage, gas, money, time, stops, etc. on our trip. We were on vacation but the girls still had
WAY TOO MUCH homework to do while we were gone. The expert report was a fun thing to do!!
Bright eyed at 3:00 a.m. with our travel log.
About 30 minutes into our travels Parker started to
ask "How many more minutes?" I swear that kid
must have asked us a million times "how many more
minutes?" He even asked us in his sleep. He was
annoying yet hilarious all at the same time.
Gas stop #1....
Many more miles to go...sigh
The trip went well - my kids and my
dad did a great job. Perfect road trip!
We were in Utah on Mother's Day.
Here's some of the kids with Grandma.
It was also a bright and early morning.
After Mother's Day dinner we played
croquet in the backyard. Parker
refers to it as broquet.
My kids only wear bandannas on their
heads in Utah. Go figure!?
Monday night we did smores in
Grandma Farrell's backyard
Aunt Jill is helping Maddie
roast the perfect marshmellow
Farrell and the future son in law, Tyler
Farrell, Lauren, and Jeff
Lauren is getting all her supplies
ready to roast
Parker and Maddie had more than
enough sugar
Tuesday afternoon we swam in Dixie's Pool
This girl is always striking a pose
Parker loves to spit water!
Tuesday evening was Endowments at the
Bountiful temple followed by dinner at
the Mandrin. Thanks to my parents for
watching my kids. I love dates with Jeff!
Especially temple dates with my mate!
Wednesday was pedicure day for all the girls.
The boys went to the driving range to hit
a bucket of balls. Everyone was happy!
Poor Jill, can't even relax while getting her toes done.
She was on the phone WORKING! I guess you
gotta do what you gotta do so you can get married
and be on a honeymoon for a week :)
The sisters in law - Sam and Laura and me....
oh wait, I am behind the camera
The nieces also got to go.
Lauren, Anonya, Maddie
Wednesday night was the wedding dinner
at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.
Yea, another date with Jeff. Thanks
again parents for watching my children.
This is a GREAT vacation!
Thursday morning was wedding day. Super
Aunt Jill rented out the hair salon and all the
girls got prettied up. It was so much fun!!
