Trip to Utah

Grant traveled pretty well considering that we did the trip up to Salt Lake City in one day. He was always so happy when we'd stop and he'd get a break from his car seat.

Everything was going great until he gagged and threw up all over him and me (really,I was soaked!) at Dairy Queen. That was a first for us. I just wanted to disappear at that moment. Welcome to parenthood!Keith's aunt got married in the Draper temple on Saturday. What a beautiful temple! The sealing room was huge. It's occupancy is 70! It was so nice to have a chair for everyone and room to spare. We enjoyed the sealing and then had a nice lunch at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Notice the candy bar. All five of the mom's with the babies that had been born into the family recently were all there. It was fun to have all the babies together.

Our nephew, Ryan, was blessed on Sunday while we were there. He's so sweet. It was his first time to church since he was born 5 months ago. Grant had fun playing with him even though Ryan accidentally punched him in the jaw (note the picture on the top right). It was pretty funny, Grant's not used to being picked on. Grant also had his first babysitter that wasn't a family member. That was a big step for me.

We broke the trip home up a little. We stayed the night at Bryce Canyon and did a small hike there the next day. Grant loved all the fresh air.

We were having such a fun time, so we decided to stay an extra day and go to Zion's National Park also. There were so many squirrels (or chipmunks?)! They were everywhere, even climbing on cars. It was a pretty hot day so we only did part of an easy hike. Grant pretty much slept the whole time. That was nice.
