Fun Times in Utah

So life on my trip wasn't all just traveling to the airport and visiting exotic places (like Payson Arizona!) The majority of our time was spent in good old Pleasant Grove Utah. It was so great to have time to visit with Oma and Opa and use all their fun toys (ATV, boat...you get the picture.) We walked around American Fork Canyon, hiked around Bridal Veil Falls, walked up to the Battle Creek Canyon waterfall, hung out all day in Salt Lake City and took the boat out on Utah Lake.

There are quite a few pictures in this post...only those that truly love me will make it to the end:)

This is Julian with the WalMart greeter on his first ever visit to a WalMart! Welcome to America Julian, land of huge warehouses that sell lots of junk made in other parts of the world:)

Townsend and Emerson playing at the pool with their cousin Taylor. Taylor was so great with my boys, I wish she lived closer so she could babysit!

Oma and Julian playing near Bridal Veil Falls.

If I posted every single picture I took of Julian in a swing it would probably bore you all to death, let's just say there are lots. He loves to swing and I think he is so adorable and he has the cutest smile when he swings, I can't resist snapping a photo.

Townsend at the Children's Museum in Salt Lake City. He is all dressed up to deliver the mail.

Julian playing in the water park in Salt Lake City. We thought all our boys would love this splash park but Townsend and Emerson ran through the sprinklers once and then played on the playground the rest of the time. Oh well, at least Julian had fun.

A family photo in the canyon, minus Hyrum.

The waterfall up Battle Creek canyon. It was a hot day so the boys brought their water sprayer bottles and kept us nice and cool the whole hike (ie: they sprayed us with water the whole time!)

Julian's first boat ride.

Yes, they were brave enough to jump in that yucky Utah lake water. They loved jumping off the front of the boat and then swimming to the back to climb in for another jump.
