Utah trip day 1

So we just got home after being gone for 9 wonderful days!  Now I'm trying to not go outside here because I don't want to admit to myself that we're back in the heat.  It's brutal I tell ya.
This post will show some highlights of our first day visiting with Keith's sister's family up in Utah.  We drove half way on Monday afternoon and arrived at her place on Tuesday afternoon.  We went straight to her great backyard and got our wiggles out!

Brett got his wiggles out in this swing.  He loved it!

Some of us got our wiggles out on the trampoline with cousins.

Grant dug in the sandbox.  Cousin Jon showed us a cool lava lamp science experiment.
After we wiggled and unpacked, we drove up a beautiful canyon to have dinner and take a walk at Brighton ski resort.  AMAZING!  We were so overwhelmed with how beautiful it was.  It would be so great to have a canyon like this only minutes from OUR house.
It rained on our way up the canyon.

Loved the trees & flowers...

And the greenery.  It was so green!

Did some swooning over this cabin.
Our family.  It was soooooo nice to get to wear a sweatshirt!

Saw a beaver dam.  With a beaver laying on it!
