Trip to Utah

The last week of July we went to Utah on a spur of the moment trip with a friend. We packed up our kids and left our husbands and drove to go visit family for a week! It was such a fun trip except for the drive home (will tell later in the post). 

First we stayed with the McArthur family. Mathew (Derrick's youngest brother) was getting home from his mission. Unfortunately I didn't get many pictures of our trip unfortunately, but here are a few

Ashlynn and Reid holding hands at the airport. So Adorable!! He loved his cousins.

 Waiting for Uncle Matt to get off the plane

 Reid loved his Uncle Matt and Uncle Justin. Here he curled up next to Uncle Justin and Fell asleep. His Uncles are so good with him and the the other kids!!

 Next we were at Grandma and Grandpa Christensen's house in Logan. The kids had a blast!!

Left: grandma took them to a playgroup her ward was doing and they were playing in a stream so grandma improvised and of course they had to have the swim caps on.

With Aunt Dayna. He loved her to death! This is one of my favorite pictures I think!!!

 Happy Birthday Grandpa Scott. The trip worked well for us were at my parents house for my dads birthday it was so fun to be there with him!

 Here is an adorable video of my little fishes! Sorry it is a little long but it is cute!

This is Avarie's car/bed hair that occurred on the way home from Utah very nice!

Ok so the trip home was interesting. The first day we ended up leaving Utah way later due to extenuating circumstances and Reid got cellulitis in his leg and had to be put on antibiotics. It was a little scary I looked down and his foot and ankle looked like he had elephantitis. It was really swollen and sore! We ended up running up to the ER I used to work at an had one of the doctors there look at it and we got him an antibiotic. Then we ended up during the drive getting pulled over by a cop and my GPS took a new and very slow way. It was scary. It was dark the whole way through the area that the GPS had us go through. There were deer everywhere some running out in front of the car. Also there were various other animals in the road and birds flying up out of no where and scaring us to death. We ended up driving a really long time to get back and didn't get home until about 3 AM. It was crazy! The trip was well worth and we had a great time seeing our families!
