Girls Trip to Utah

This past weekend my sister Stacy & I had the chance to fly up to Utah to spend the weekend with my brother Ryan & his family in Draper, UT. It was SO much fun! (If you've ever met Ryan & Linsey that is no surprise). We ate a ton, enjoyed the gorgeous weather, went to their son Calvin's baptism (that gets a post of it's own), got to visit with a couple aunties & cousins, and stayed up way too late talking every night. It was so much fun to just be with them. Here are the pics.
Ryan & Linsey's cute family Aunt Janet. We caught her working in her yard. Isn't she cute, sweatband & all. She's one of a kind & one of my favorite people ever.
Here's Aunt Janet's latest big edition to her yard.
Here's the rest of her gorgeous yard. I'm always amazed at what she has done. She's done so much with it over the years you wouldn't ever recognize it from before.
This is just representative of all the good eating we did. Since their kids are a little older we got to go out to eat without kiddos every night. We also went to get Iceberg shakes which we miss here in AZ since they closed.It's so beautiful in Utah I want to move there every time I go. Here's the view from their front porch.
Here's the view from their back deck. I could have spent the whole weekend on this deck.We come from the Draper line that Draper, UT was named after so we had to hit a couple of historic Draper sites. Here's the park w/a statue of Phebe Draper Palmer Brown & Ebenezer Brown (if you want to know about them ask me sometime, she was pretty much an awesome, tough lady). We didn't have time to do a session, but we did get to go see the Draper temple which was cool & has the most amazing views of the valley. From the hill where the Draper temple is you can see 3 other temples. Crazy!
We wish we could have brought our families, but it was still such a fun trip, especially because Stacy & I got to go together. Thanks Ryan & Linsey for letting us come & showing us such a great time.
