Utah Trip

Our family took a nice long trip to Utah for Adam's little sister's wedding.  We ended up staying for almost 2 weeks.  Adam's Mom rode with us, but stayed down in Provo and we stayed in Bountiful.  It was a really fun trip and we were able to do a lot to keep us busy and also to keep Mackenzie entertained. 

We played at Hogle Zoo for a day...

Daddy and Kenzie with the cougars.

Kenzie with the Dinosaurs.

Kenzie loved following her cousin Joseph.

Daddy and Kenzie waiting to get sprayed by the dinosaur.

Grandma got sick of Grandpa...so she wanted the dinosaur to eat him!

Grandpa the Gorilla.

The cute spraying elephant.

And the real elephant.

T-Rex.

Kenzie, Joseph, and Samuel checking out the iguana.

Kenzie in front of the chiguita (I think that is how you spell it)...this is her nickname that her Daddy uses.
It was a rainy day, so it was perfect.  It wasn't too hot and not many people were there.  It only rained a couple times and we just hung out inside the different animal habitats when it was raining.  What a great day!

Then we went to Temple Square while Amy was going through the Temple...

Kenzie loved the children's museum in the Church History Museum...

They had a really cute magnetic wall where you could make your own quilt squares.

They also had a dress up area where you could dress in traditional dresses and dance with a movie projected on the wall of a girl dancing....you try to follow her.

She was so excited when we walked in the visitors center...She just kept saying "Mom look...It's Jesus!"

Then we had Amy's Wedding...

Tanner dressed up and happy for the occasion.

Amy and Michael as they walked out of the temple.

Kenzie with her Aunt Amy.

Kenzie and Joseph.

All three kiddos just hanging out and finding their own games to play.

 
We spent a lot of time in Provo as well...
Joseph and Mackenzie sitting on his bunk bed...She now tells me all the time she needs an "up bed and a down bed" in her room for her and Tanner to share.
 Then while we were in Bounitful we went to visit my sister in law's Mom...Katie's Mom, Susan. She had a splash pad in her neighborhood so we went to try it out.

It was kinda funny cause she was scared of the water at first and wanted Susan to run through with her.


And there is our Utah trip in pictures...

So fun! I really wish my boys could've been there too to play with the cousins! I absolutely love the dress you ended up finding for Mackenzie to wear at the wedding. So cute!
