Utah Trip Part 3

We spent a day at the Salt Lake City Library, which was really amazing. It is every library lovers' dream come true. Five stories of books, fun reading rooms for the kids, rooftop views, coffee shops, and specialty stores. And, lets not forget the fountains that the kids illegally played in!

While we sipped our iced tea, the kids played in this fountain.

The "ice" room in the kid's section.

We got more climbing done than reading!

The swing in Cindy's backyard. My kids literally spent hours in that thing!

Utah Trip Part 1

In the beginning of June I went with my sisters, Amanda and Kimmy, to visit our sister Cindy in Utah. We stayed for a week and a half and had so much fun! We went to all the D.I.s (a thrift store) in the area and stocked up on so many good finds! We went to Gardner's Village, which had pony rides and fun little shops. I was sad to see the trip come to an end, but we missed Max too much! Alice (Cindy's daughter who is the same age as Mason) would say to Mason, "I don't want you to leave, Mason." And Mason would say, "I have to go, Alice. I miss my dada too much." They were so cute together and I wish we lived closer!

Mason's first pony ride...he loved it!

Cousins! Alice, Henry, Mason, and Archie

Archie's makeshift high chair. The perfect height for him to rest his weary head.

Grandpa Huss

A few weeks ago we had a nice little visit with Max's dad. We went to Huntington Beach and had lunch and walked down the pier. We all had a lot of fun hanging out. Afterward, Mason kept talking about the visit with his grandpa. I hope we can get together more often!
