Lost track of Days

Today we went with Oma and rode the trax line up to Temple Square. We have never been through the Conference Center and we went to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and watch the Movie that they were showing. Before the show we went to lunch at the restraunt at the top of the JS Memorial building. It was a beautiful day. After the Conference Center we walked back to the trax but stopped at the mirror pond. Baylie got to see one bride and wanted to stay and watch her but it was time to go. So we rode the trax back to the station.

Today Loney decided we were in need of some SPEED!!!! We found an indoor cart racing track and went and raced!!! All of us had our own carts and the competitivness came out!!! You really have to watch out for Grandma Kathy!!! She was a DEMON DRIVER! She almost got me and her black flagged off of the track and I wasn't even doing anything!!! How is that fair??? Just Kidding we had a really good time! Uncle Shad was home for a vacation and went with us we had a great time with him too he is an awesome driver!!! (in a cart anyway can't say much for a real vehicle HAHA!)

SUNDAY DAY 3

Today we went with my mom and my brother Shad (who is home on leave from the Air Force and just home from Iraq) to Lagoon. It started out as a crazy day with fighting kids and the works. Once we got to Lagoon we found our spot and went to ride some rides and of course the kids had to go to WICKED first. Talk about a crazy ride. With Stets in a wheelchair we got front seats on most of the rides. WILD!!!! they also let him and his family ride more than once if we wanted to but after two rides that was enough for most of us. So the next ride was Fire Dragon or the Colosus (SP?) that was okay for the first ride but then we got off and started to the next i was a little dizzy and quezzy in the stomach. So then Bay and her daddy wanted to ride the next ride which is the loud music playing one that goes in a circle and whoever is on the outside gets squished. They had a blast. So then it was off to the Centennial Screemer. Bay, Shad and Chase wanted to ride it but there could only be two to a car so I ended up going with Bay. By the time the ride was half over i was sick. I could not get off the ride fast enough. Yep! remember growing up and making fun of the people who couldn't handle the rides???? THAT WAS ME this time. So for the rest of the day i as out of the ride loop. The only rides i could do was the White roller coaster, the log ride and the sky ride. WHAT A BUMMER!!!!! But.... I did end up driving one of the dragster cars down the track 3 times. You know the Catapult???? the one where you sit in a sphere and they sling shot you up high????? Yep Loney and Chase did that and we have the DVD of it. Chase actually did it twice!!!!! That crazy kid rode every ride possible. That was a late night. So to a hotel it was for the night for just 4 of us, Bay went home with my mom for a sleepover with Grandma!!!!

DAY 2

Today we had breakfast and then we helped Irene get ready for her after wedding family get-together. That day was pretty much all we did. no pics again. She had the party in a pavilian in one of the parks in AF that was really pretty. There was a pond that people were fishing in and you could walk around. It almost felt like you were up in the canyon. We went for a walk and had our nephew "E" tag along and boy is he a smart kid. Every time we saw a bird he would tell us what kind it was. Now you have to know he is only 4 i think. As we got further along the path you could tell he was getting tired so Uncle Loney would tell him to get those feet movin. He would then stop, look down at his feet and tell them "MOVE LITTLE FEET!" It was so much fun with him on our walk. We were also able to see some of Loneys Aunts that we haven't seen for a while and get caught up on times. We also got to see Jill and Kevin who are good friends of the Larsons who run a Big O Shop in Sandy. It was so fun to get to see everyone. I think it is more fun seeing all of the cousins get together and play and make up games. That morning we all went to see Connor (nephew) play his last game of LaCross. It ended up being a really nice night.

SUMMER VACATION DAY 1

DAY 1

Arrived in Utah and went to Irenes first for the first couple of days. We arrived on Thursday and on Friday the plan was to go with everyone to Cherry Hill up by Lagoon. When we got up that morning it was raining so we had to change our plans. So we all decided to take the kids to Jack and Jills in American Fork (a bowling alley). After that we were all hungry so we went to Chuck E Cheese Pizza for lunch. Stetson hit it big on the "wheel of fortune" game which gave him 250 tickets so he was stoked! After that we decided to go see the new Transformers movie. WOW!!!! what a great movie. Chase of course came out of the theater with his eyes as wide as they come saying "We HAVE to buy that!!!" After the movie we just kind of hung out the rest of the day. no pics i didn't have my camera battery charged.
