Summer Trip to Utah

We had such a great time taking one last trip to Utah before moving East again. We made sure to visit lots of friends and show our cute kids off.

First stop: Grandma and Grandpa Larsen's. They got to meet Lucy for the first time! Ty really enjoyed their toys and backyard. He misses their Shopko tractor trailer. 

Our first morning was free, so I met up with my old roommate Megan whose son Will is only a few weeks younger than Ty, but still much taller! They had a blast at Wheeler Farm.

The famous "Shopko" truck:

That night, we drove up to Cyle and Athena Adair's. Cyle was one of Tim's old roommates. Ty's new friend Kingston is only six weeks younger than him, and their little girl Cadence is only three weeks older than Lucy!

Later on in the trip, we also met up with two of Tim's old mission companions in Midway. It's always fun to catch up!

My family came into town on Thursday, June 11th and we started right off by going to the Hogle Zoo.

They are hosting Zoorassic Park, so there are lifesize animatronic dinosaurs spread throughout the park. It added a lot of fun!

Expecially in the picture taking department. I love these cousin pictures!

Friday we went to the children's museum and I can't believe I didn't take any pictures (actually, remembering how busy it was, I don't think there was even room for a camera!). That night, my dad and his wife Sheila were sealed in the Payson Temple. It was so nice to have family there, and the temple was beautiful (and big)! After the temple, we got together at a park for a nice dinner. It was Grandma and Grandpa Lotz's first time meeting Lucy as well!

We love family time.

Lucy has such a sweet smile!

We threw our own family water party on Saturday. It was a blast.

Lucy and Makayla were swim suit twinners!

We got to meet Ty and Lucy's cousin Carter for the first time this trip. Ty kept saying "Hey, Mr. Carter!" He was a wonderful "big" cousin and Carter is adorable!

Our best attempt at Lucy and Carter pictures: 

Ty enjoyed this "real" Mater near my dad's house.

Everyone likes babies!
