Summer in Utah

We had a great time in Utah this summer! There were a lot of different parts to the trip. Jackson, Abbie and I flew out on alone and I was pretty nervous about flying out by myself with them. I had flown alone with them just on the quick flight from Utah to Arizona but the whole cross country flight with the layover was intimidating! Honestly the flights couldn't have gone much better. The first flight was from Hartford to Denver and the kids didn't fuss or fight the whole time. The layover in Denver was a little tricky especially since the flight was delayed an hour but we made it through that last hour flight and were excited to see grandma waiting at the airport. We spent our first day with them at the Jennings at their house.

This was at about 6 am ... Ty snuck this pic after dropping us off.

Jackson loved his tag reader and Abbie loved a special treat - Fruit Loops :)

From there the kids and I headed to Provo and spent a few days with the Lewises. We had a lot of fun at museums, BYU, splash pads, pools, horseback riding, good food, seeing Michael and Annika too.

Finally trying the famous Swig with Annika

Jackson loved time with Will-E-am.

From there we went to Salt Lake City and stayed at Papa and Nana's house for a couple nights and my mom dad and Steven flew up from Phoenix to be there. From there we went to Park city for a Christensen family reunion. We had fun on the Alpine slides playing at the hotel the dinosaur Heber creeper ride and fun game nights. . Tyler finally arrived in Utah for the last day of the Park city reunion we also took family pictures up there and had a really fun night playing soccer and a beautiful park.

Jackson loved this spiderweb climber

He was so patient and waited 20 minutes to ride this airplane

The last part of the trip was a week with the Jennings at their house.  With them we did lots of playing with Tony, playing with cousins, more swimming, splash pads, museums, and lots of costa vida. We spent the Fourth of July Day with them and had a lot of fun :)

The final night was 4th of July we went up to Salt Lake and got together with the Christensens one more time at the country club for fireworks.

The final day was a really special one in which all of the Jennings siblings spouses and grandkids are able to go visit with grandpa Harline for the last time. While we were visiting we found out the previous week that he had cancer and probably didn't have much time left to live. He is such an amazing man and it was a great final visit.
