Utah: July 2013 | Part 2

We stayed with my mom for 10 days. While there our time primarily consisted of outside play; soaking up the cooler weather! The kids had lots of fun with chalk, running through the sprinklers, visiting a few city parks, etc.

We drove to Spanish Fork, stayed with my cousin Melissa and then the next day we planned to meet up with our friends Julie, Owen and Graham in SLC. They had moved up to Utah for the last year of medical school and we were excited to see them. We met at the Hogle Zoo and had a good time. It was rather hot though and my kids got grumpy near the end.

The zoo is wonderful! The kids loved the polar bear exhibit and here they are watching sea lions swim around.

This picture makes me laugh and accurately portrays the sibling dynamic around here. Rhett is pushing Max away so he can be an eagle all by himself. Ha! Kid knows what he wants and isn't afraid to get it.

Little stinker!

We went with my mom, Papa Link, Kash and my sister Vanessa too. With the zoo so vast and it being so hot we rented some wagons to haul the kids around. I sure got a workout lugging that wagon, three kids and a pregnant belly around. I was more than ready to call it quits after our morning there. We bid our dear friends farewell and drove home to Manti. It was a good day.
