Utah-The Beginning

We spent a few weeks in Utah this summer.  We had a BLAST!  We drove down; which I was pretty nervous about; but the boys were FABULOUS!  We didn't even put a movie on for the first 6 hours.  No crying, no fighting and no screaming.  I had planned so many snacks and lots of activities, but we hardly used any of them.  We left around 3:00 and drove straight through the night.  The boys slept in their carseats and Adam drove most of the way.  We had anticipated this trip so long before we left.  We were going to see Adam's brother and his family...we hadn't seen them in over 7 years.  We would see his sister and her family from Maryland; it had been 4 years.  And his parents and sisters in Utah we hadn't seen in 2 1/2 years.  It would be a reunion for 6 out of 8 of Adam's siblings. It was a HUGE reunion and we were so excited!  When we arrived the boys were elated to see so many cousins. They played until they dropped.  Some of their favorite things were: water fights, popsicles, ATV's, and icecream cones!
