Utah here we come

July 17th we headed off to Utah. This is the only time for the rest of the summer that we could get away. Between the boys football and grain harvest quickly approaching this was it. We left Friday and were planning on coming back Saturday. Me, Brenan, Kaden and Allie left earlier in the day. Rachel and Kendall came after they got off work. We had never been to Hogel Zoo and Allie wanted to go so we went there first. Kaden complained the whole time. Rachel and Kendall didn't make it even though I had bought their tickets. They close the gates at 5:15. They got there at 5:20 and couldn't get in. We did that then met them at the hotel. We were going to go to the Conference Center tour but the pioneer program was taking place so we went to Gateway Mall. We ate there and then did a little shopping. We went back to the hotel and played cards. We were supposed to have a room with two doubles in it. They kept giving us one King size bed. We had to change rooms three times but they finally got it right. Saturday was the day to head to Park City. We always go school shopping up there at the outlet malls. We get pretty good deals. We shopped all day. We got most of their shopping done. We headed back to Salt Lake and had to go to the Nordstrom sale and to Cabella's for the guys. It was late. They all talked me into staying one more night. I had to be to Matt's mission President's report on Sunday but I had bought a dress so they said I could just meet them there and that would work. It was nice not having to drive home so late that night. We played cards again It was midnight by the time we finally got to bed. Sunday we drove home. It was a quick trip but we had a lot of fun.

Here are the boys at Hogel Zoo measuring against the gorilla's pretty close match up in all ways. ha ha
