Traveling

We are all coming down off the high from traveling. I wish I had enough energy/creativity to give a cute little report of all the fun things we did, but I think I'm too worn out. So I'll just post a ton of pics from our visit to family.
Part 1: the "Hotel" Carlston

Grandma Taffy and Grandpa Wayne love their grandkids!

Ben and Buff

cousins: Ben, Parker, Afton, KatherineUtah Gymnastics Meet

Part 2: the Zoo

thanks Grandpa Mark and Grandma Jan!
Part 3: the Stubbs

four generations of Stubbs men
cousins: Afton, LL, SO, Ben and LO

We had such a good time catching up with family. We got to spend one-on-one time and play some fun games. Of course the food was delish everywhere we went. Afton and Ben sure loved the constant attention and arms to hold them. Jared and I enjoyed it too.
Both kids were totally sick by the time we were done. Our drive home was painfully long and sad. Our fault really though. We packed everything BUT car entertainment stuff. So we spent a lot of time crying, tickling, yelling, singing, stopping the car, and wishing we were already "there."
Overall it was a super fun trip and I'm so glad we did it. Now we need a few days to recover!

We are glad you guys made the trek down-- that is a LOOOONG drive!! Everyone who saw you was glad you came, I am sure, so thanks for the sacrifice:) (We understand how "fun" it is to drive with small children!!:) Your kids have grown so much since we last saw them. We need to trek up and see you guys at least before they graduate from HS!!!
