Leavin' on a jet plane

We took another quick plane ride this weekend.  We flew back to Utah for Shawn's brother's wedding. We left Thursday morning and spent most of the day traveling and waiting in airports....lame.  The boys spent time playing games, while Liv and I did this.

Upon arriving in Utah we did our best to keep the kids under control but they pretty much went crazy with all the cousins.  By midnight they were still going strong and didn't actually fall asleep for a few hours after that, and then were up bright and early at 0600.

Friday was the Wedding.  It was in Salt Lake at the temple.  It was beautiful and so fun to be together as a family again.  The kids had fun playing around the temple grounds while waiting for the bride and groom.

 Finally they came!!

Shawn and all his siblings and parents.

My Family

Later that night we helped set up for the reception.

Here is a quick pic I took of Shawn during his speaking part.

 It was an adults only party....no kids!  It was nice for a change to relax and socialize.

Saturday we started by going out to breakfast.  We had scones as big as our heads and twice as delicious.  Then we took the kids to a bike store to test out some bikes.

Following this we had a swim party and BBQ.

That evening we took the kids up driving in the mountains.  Shawn and I used to do this a lot when we dated.  Despite the fact that we didn't have a jeep like Shawn used to drive, our GMC Acadia worked perfectly fine climbing some hills.  The kids however were scared.  They screamed the whole way in the back seat telling Shawn to slow down.  It was funny.  We watched a beautiful sunset and then went home.

Then we got up early Sunday morning and flew home.   My kids are sad, they miss their cousins already!  It looks like we will have to plan another trip home soon.
