Visit to Utah

On the last day of school, we packed up and headed down to Utah for a long over-due visit to see family. We had a great time--especially having the cousins spend so much time together. After spending a few days at my mom's and celebrating Jacob's birthday (see previous post), we spent the next day in Salt Lake with Ashley and her kids and Breanna and Seth and their boys. It was so fun and the kids had a great time. Then we headed down to Saratoga Springs and Cedar Hills to spend a few days with David's sisters and parents. It was a great start to our summer!

Here is cute Jacob at the petting zoo at This is the Place Park. He loves animals! Then below is my sweet sister, Breanna with her husband, Seth and their new baby, Campbell. This was our last visit with them for quite a while as they are moving (actually as I write this) to Houston.

Here are two little nine-year-old cuties--Ellie and Madeline. They are looking pretty grown-up!

Ellie, Erika and Natalie trying to win at tug-o-war at Saratoga Splash. Girl power! The girls kept dominating at this event.

Pictued below: Thomas showing off his cool tattoo; the boys in the tug-o-war (we couldn't get away from that thing--we kept getting sucked back into tug-o-warring!!!); an exhausted Jacob; all the Stewart grandchildren; Jackson, Madison, Will and Jacob (four beautiful kids)

Then here are David, me and his wonderful parents. They are amazing people of faith and I hope to raise my children in righteousness as they have done and continue to do. Wonderful examples! It was a great visit and luckily we are going back next week to drop off our kids for another visit with their cousins and grandparents.
