Jess and I finally had a Utah trip that overlapped, yay. We spent the 24th at a carnival and watched the most amazing fireworks by Brighton Highschool. Who doesn't love a good 24th celebration, it should be holiday for the U.S.
One morning we took some bread to Sugarhouse Park and watched the ducks/geese go crazy.
It lasted about 5 minutes but it was fun.
We stopped by Trolley Square for some Lulu exchanges and wandered through Alice Lane and drooled at all the beautiful furniture including this amazing chair that Alex and Cole wanted, ha.
That afternoon we had a BBQ at Mary and Rolfs. Alex and Cole were in heaven playing with all the animals, running on the slip n slide and then playing with this tub and dumping all the bubbles they were blowing in it.
We celebrated Blake, Rolf, and Grandmas Birthdays and even made smores after that. It was a really fun night, sad to say goodbye to everyone after our 3.5 week stay.
On our last day there we went and spent the morning with Grandma, walked her over to 7-11 for Slurpees, and then took her to lunch at Shanghai Cafe. We also got to pick up Al at the airport on the way to lunch and we so excited after a week without him!!
Sadly our trip came to an end, but it was time to get back to Texas and unpack our stuff and finally get settled in our new house. We drove 22 hours straight with a few gas/potty breaks in between, brutal, but Al refuses to stop and stay somewhere.
It was a little overwhelming to get home to a house full of boxes and to make it even more sad Al left that night to go out of town for work. 3 months later I'm starting to get used to being alone in this big house, but I still don't like it...lol Maybe I'll move my kids into our room when he's gone. Alex has been asking for months for us to build him a box house like we did in California, so here it is!!
Unpacking break with my sweet cuddly Cole.
We got a few more days of Sodapalooza before it ended, love this picture, so funny.
