Utah

The boys had such a good time at Grandma and Grandpas house. We spent more time outside than inside exploring and playing and enjoying the cool Utah weather.

Picking strawberries, peaches, pumpkins, tomatoes, and grapes from grandmas yard. Cousin Kaylee and Everett coming into the house and Kaylee saying she picked the rest of the strawberries and let Everett eat them. (The strawberries that were left were moldy)
Every time I open a can of peaches now Everett will ask if they are from grandmas yard. He thought grandmas yard was pretty incredible. One of this favorite things was using the ladder to pick peaches. Then coming inside, peeling it, and eating it over the sink.

Walking to the park to play.

Swinging in the backyard. 

Getting popsicles at aunt Karyn's house.

Playing with all the cousins.
Walking to church.

Shooting off rockets with Grandpa. Nathan still remembers what a rocket does if you ask him. Everett thought the rockets were amazing. Hopefully one will still be stuck in a tree next time we come visit.

Going to the zoo and missing the train for the day by two minutes. 

Playing with dads legos from when he was a kid.

Everett, dad, and grandpa going to the train museum together.

Playing outside every minute we could.
There is something so magical for a child when they visit a grandparent. I still remember visiting my grandparents when I was little. I remember every smell, every noise different parts of the house made. I remember all the fun things we were able to do at grandmas and grandpas house. I remember thinking their yard was a magical fairy land.
I love taking our own kids to visit their grandparents now and seeing them make these amazing memories that I made from my childhood. There is something so special about it.
