Utah....I am Begining To Like It There:)

We had a wonderful trip to Utah! We did so many fun things. I loved seeing my sisters and Parker loved playing with them. We stayed up way too late and woke up way too early. We laughed so hard tears were flowing. Here is a little bit of our trip......
My parents are funny....neither one of them is very photogenic. Finally I told them to laugh like something was funny. This was the finished product......I love it!!

Outside of my sisters backdoor are the mountains...you can hike to the Y in the mountain. Parker spent most of his time climbing the rocks and looking for things.

He made it to the top:)

There is only one person in Parker's life that is more fun than mom, and it is his Aunt Rocky.....he loves her so much. He is her shadow:)

This is probably one of my favorite pictures/moments from the trip. Parker rounded up everyone and we headed up the mountain. Here are some fun pictures from the adventure....

Another one of my favorites.....with my dad.

So...funny story. We left for Utah Friday afternoon, which was Ben's birthday. Parker and I bought a small cake to eat at one of our stops for dinner. This is what it looked like 3 days after our arrival.....it is the thought that counts, right?

Some pictures of the fun things we did......Video games....

So, they have a Deal or No Deal Games, where instead of winning money, you win tickets. The highest amount you could win was 200. We were on that thing for hours. We were screaming like we had just won 500, 000 dollars....it was hilarious. With all of the games, mostly from the wins from DOD:) We kept hitting the 200 ticket wins. Altogether we had over 1,000 tickets. And Parker got his very own Barney Stuffed Animal.

We also went bowling!!! I did not get many pictures because my camera died shortly after our arrival.

Brooke's surprise Graduation Party.....

The Arcade.....they had all of our favorite games, Ms. Pac-Man, Burger Time, and Air Hockey.....I must say I get pretty competitive at that game and won most games:) I had good competition, though!!

My dad played the same game all night....a Price Is Right game, and hit the jackpot every time. We got over 1,700 tickets at the Nickle Arcade. And Parker was a proud owner of a new sword!

Mini-Golfing

Raquel's Graduation Day!!! Yeah!! She has worked so hard to accomplish this goal in her life, and we are so proud of her. It was wonderful day!!

That is her BF Spencer....he is a great guy. All I know is that if we did not scare him away by now, he is not going anywhere:)

This is the most fun we have had on a vacation. I loved being with my family and doing fun things together.....this is just a glimpse of all of the fun things we did. Parker is having a really hard time adjusting.....he asks to go to Rocky's all the time and asks if he can leave, and live with her. Maybe someday soon we will be close enough to her, until then, just long trips back and forth and a lot of memories to remember:)
