Christensen Idumea: Utah Part 1

Reagan had a week off of school for Fall Break so we decided to take a trip up to Utah to see Brian's family. His parents were there visiting and one of his brothers from South Carolina were there for a few days as well. We had planned to leave Sunday the 7th but since Brian wasn't working(thank you government! ;)) we decided to head out Saturday so we could get in at a decent hour on Sunday. The kids did so much better in the car then I expected. We had lots of movies, snacks and stops :) Carson only cried if he was hungry and when it was dark out(so that was rough driving from Vegas to St George at night...). We got to Scott and Stephanie's about 2pm. It was so nice to get out of the car! That night was a big family dinner so we were glad we made it in time to see everyone. And I forgot a camera so all the pictures are from my phone so I apologize for the poor quality! (FYI, picture overload!)

Hoover Dam

We stopped in St George so I told Brian we had to go see the St George Temple, which happened to be about 5 min from our hotel.

It's beautiful!

On Monday, we took a trip to the BYU bookstore and up to Park City to ride some slides down a mountain. It was freezing! I had forgot to pack my coat so after we wee done with the slides, we ran other to the outlet mall and bought a coat. Ah now I can handle the cold! Monday night we all met at Brick Oven pizza for dinner. It was delish! We love their root-beer. A guy came around making animals out of balloons so all the kids got one. Bryson got an awesome dinosaur and Reagan got a dog.

Tuesday we drove up to Sundance and then drove the Alpine Loop. It was beautiful! We had some cafe rio for lunch and then headed over to Thanksgiving Point for the Dinosaur Museum. Bryson was in heaven! Ashley and I decided to take the kids on a train ride back to Prove where Rob and Brian would pick us up. The kids loved it!

Alpine Loop. Wishing I had an actual camera!

DINOSAUR MUSEUM!

Bryson could have played here with the dino's all day!

haha Bryson didn't like sand getting on his head so he pulled up his hood really high!

this is trouble!

They all loved the train! Bryson refused to take a picture but he loved it, too!

Wednesday was a lazy day! Wahoo! We played around the house and then went to a pumpkin patch just around the corner from Scott and Steph's. The kids loved everything besides the haunted house and the scary tractor driver.
