Our Whirlwind Trip to Utah

Since moving to Texas we have had to learn that UT does NOT stand for Utah.  It means the University of Texas.  But this summer we went back to UT...as in Utah for a few days (literally).  And it was a trip we had been anticipating all year!

4:00 am!  Rise and shine, Mom and Dad.  Kiddos, go back to sleep while we drive.  We made it to New Mexico the first day and then on to Utah where Jason was introduced to REAL grass for the first time in his life!  His reaction was priceless!

"Safe from all that green stuff.  Don't move, Mommy!"

The rest of the kids were just grateful to be free from the truck for a few minutes to play on the park in Moab, Utah.  Then it was off to Orem!

 

We spent some time with some wonderful friends; visited the American Fork temple; and saw a few family members all before we had to pack up and go home!  Yes, we were only in Utah for two days.

Back through Moab but no time to stop at the fancy park.

  

The kids got to climb some red rock at our breakfast pit stop.

  

Then on through New Mexico and back home to Texas.  Like I said, a whirlwind trip.  And there is no place like home.
