We had a great time in northern Utah last month when we went to see Grandma Joan and Uncle Norm and Aunt Laura. The trip was an early Christmas present from Grandma and Grandpa Tomany. We were able to spend time at Blacksmith Fork canyon swimming in the river and swinging on the rope swing. The little girls' call it "the grand canyon" because they think it's so grand!! Abby and Cade swung and swam with us, and a great time was had by all.
We stayed at Mick and Kathryn's, which was different for us, usually we are at Mom and Dad's, but they were full already. The kids really enjoyed being at the cousin's, and they were the most gracious hosts. We never felt out of place. Sarah especially seemed to love being at Breelyn's house. She loves her cousins. Sarah and Amber and Breelyn are like the three musketeers when they are together. They play well, and Sarah still calls them her best friends, even if we see them only a few times a year.
Our last day there we went to the Eccles Dinosaur Park and the kids enjoyed the exhibits and the walk through the "prehistoric forest."
On the way home, we drove fairly close to the Mill Flat fire (I think) near Scipio. The amount of smoke was tremendous, and a couple of times we could actually see the flames. We snapped some photos, but they don't really do justice to the awe of seeing all that smoke and fire.
We arrived home safe and enjoyed our weekend trip. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!! What a great Christmas present!
We felt soo privileged having you stay with us for the weekend! It was a ball and the kids were darling together. We're so glad you came and would love to have you anytime! I need some of those great picts. Where was my camera???
