Utah....a trip of firsts!

We spent a chunk of our summer in the homeland, aka Utah.  This year was our longest stay yet but well worth it!  We stayed three weeks and with a gorgeous view like this some people ask why I even left.  We missed Jason terribly so we just had to come back.  Besides having the annual list of things to do and see, this year marked a few firsts for us.

First, I drove instead of flew.  I loved it!  My mom drove up with me and I drove home by myself.  We had so much fun gabbing away about everything.  Wyatt was a trooper and was on his best behavior.  On the way home I drove solo.  So, I just kept everything within easy reach.  I even made a little trip out of it to see my friends who live in Vegas for a night to split up the drive.  The best part about driving is that you can leave whenever you want oh and you have your own car to do whatever you want.  I actually stayed a few days longer than planned so that was nice.

First cotton candy. Wyatt had his first taste of cotton candy.  Do you think he liked it or what?

First hike without backpack.  We went on a hike with my mom, SIL, and cousins.  Wyatt did well, for a two year old.  Sometimes I forget just how little he really is.  I ended up carrying him a lot of the way.  It was the hike up by the Temple Quarry trail.  So, everytime we saw the granite rocks we called them "Temple Rocks."

Thanks Utah (and my mom) for a great trip.  I always love coming back.  It will always be "home" to me.
