4th of July Trip

We've been home 1 week and I FINALLY feel like we're gaining control of things again. It's a little rough after 2 weeks of complete fun to get back into "real" life. We've finished phase 1: got the house cleaned, and now we're headed into phase 2: Detox. We really enjoy food- and with a pantry stocked with what some of us would call a year supply- we ate and ate and ate. I found myself wandering into the pantry "accidentally" as I was headed somewhere else- just to window shop. And Carter thinks that Suckers and icecream come with every meal now.


You could find Carter looking like this after every swim. Mmmm.... Everyone should have an icecream machine.
We had a blast with all of Jason's Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins from the Sant Fam. We love you guys. You may notice the familiar graveside pose. It's always a special memory to visit Jason's Dad's graveside in Bountiful. And good ol' "Uncle Geek Geek" (left). Carter's still talking about him.
We played with the cousins
We swam
We ate icecream
We went to the Dinosaur Park
We played in the rain
We played in the play house (Carter's favorite)
We went to a Parade
We watched fireworks
We swam
We ate icecream
We went to Children's Discovery Museum
We rode scooters
We rode 4 wheelers
We rode a horse
We went to Lagoon
We played with more cousins
We went to the Cabin. Sigh...
We played in the Gym (Another favorite for Carter)
We watched movies
We swam
We ate icecream
We played Volleyball
We played basketball
We ended with a trip to Grand Junction
We went to my Highschool reunion. 10 years!
We loved Every Second of it.
And in case you're wondering where my othere son is?! Yes, Brady did come with us and managed to make it in 2 of the above pictures. I think I took about 200- and He only made it in a handful. I can only get him Laying around in so many places before it gets boring.
