Thankfully, Andrew's parents (who have been living with Angie and Forrest off and on for the last several months) were in town for the week that we were there. And we also got to spend time with Tony, Cindy, and their kids. It ended up being a fantastic week, even though we missed our Minnesota and Colorado siblings and cousins.
Vivi's baptism
We made it to Utah just in time for Vivian's baptism.
So happy we could share her special day with her.
The kids went swimming at the FREEZING reservoir
afterward.
The cold never bothered them anyway.
The kids loved playing with Truman.
Played some fun games of Werewolf.
I'm a terrible liar.
Andrew and Tony had some fun three-point shooting contests.
Sunday dinner at Grandma's.
The kids' table is growing up!
These big girls got to join us at the grown-up table.
Celebrated B's birthday
Tone and Cind showed us how to print our own t-shirt designs.
We all chose a Sweat-themed design and wore them later in the week.

Pop-it fight
Sparkler fun
Picnic and Kickball up the Canyon
Singing to Reagan's ukulele around the fire pit.

Provo River
We had such a great time tubing the Provo River.
The water is FREEZING.
Your bum goes numb after a couple of minutes.
We had a beautiful sky and gorgeous mountain views.
The four adults tied our tubes together.
And the teens tied theirs together.
Such a relaxing and fun way to spend an afternoon.
And we only got a few minor injuries. :)
Airbound Trampoline and Ninja Gym

They have remodeled the Church History Museum and it is awesome.
My favorite part was the Joseph Smith movie.
So well done, unique, and inspiring.
Gorgeous stained glass
The kids liked the hands-on art section

Temple Trip with Andrew
Stewart Falls
Tone and Cind introduced us to a BEAUTIFUL hike
near Aspen Grove.
We LOVED it.
And we decided it was a great time to wear our Sweat shirts.
Brrrrr.....that water was freezing,
but some of the big kids still went under the
waterfall.
Wish these two could see each other more often!
Downtown.
On our last day in SLC, B had an appt to get
his ipod fixed at the Apple Store in City Creek Center.
The Microsoft store was having a Virtual Reality event.
It was pretty fun to try it out.
The first time any of us had.
Phew! We packed a lot into that week.
So happy we can have time to spend
with our family in the summer.
Love renewing those relationships and creating memories together.
