Summer SLC Trip--Part 1

 We decided the weekend before school was the time to take our one last final summer vacay and play in Salt Lake. Natalie tagged along with us. It was fun to have her in with us for almost a week. She gave us our Christmas present from last year. A game called "Snake Oil". So fun!! We play it at least once a week and the kids love it.

 We left our house Friday morning and made our first stop at Red Robin. We got a gift card from my brother and his wife and everyone was so excited to finally use it so Red Robin it was. Our next stop was the Church History Museum. 

 We realized that it has been 9 years since we lived anywhere near there and our kids don't remember hardly anything from living there, including Temple Square things. So we wanted to change that.

 We had a blast wandering around and looking at everything.

 The kids favorite part was helping the guy carving out the granite. Luke thought it was one of the best things ever.

 Seth did his token turn and dare I might say that it was sort of cool to try it out!!

 I love the kids area and we kept ourselves busy for quite some time. 

 Don't we all look amazing??!! Our dancing on the other hand was sadly lacking, haha....

 Then we wandered around temple square and the visitors centers. Sarah really wanted to try braiding Natalie's hair and did a pretty good job of it.

 Of course we had to stop and play in the water. It was a warm day so it felt awesome to cool off.

 Sam and I took a funny picture

 and a cute one. 14 years ago we got married in that beautiful building!!

 The last stop was the top of the Church Office Building. Such an amazing view. You can see so far plus the elevator ride up was fast and almost sickening, well to me at least. Everyone else thought it was pretty splendid.

 The creepster and everyone else. He is so 14!!

We ended the night by stopping at Chevron for Orange Bang (Sam use to deliver this particular product all over Utah before we got married and he loves it so much!!) and pop. Then it was off to the Beuses for the BYU game. Such a fun day!!!
