The rest of Utah.

We had  such a great time in Utah!  We absolutely LOVE being with family.  The kids got to reconnect with their cousins and we had such a great time!  The only down fall is I only have 2 out of my 6 siblings living in Utah.  That is why we are planning a trip to Disney land right?  You are still all be on board!  But on the other hand Scottys siblings all have finally moved back to Utah. 
On our way out there we flew out of Cincinnati so we got to swim, go out to dinner and make a fun night out of it.  All though it wasn't  so fun when Briony wouldn't go to bed and we had to be up at 5 am. 
We were able to go swimming at my dads work pool.  The kids loved it and by the end the boys were jumping off the diving board.
 
 
We also made a trip to Lagoon, and the kids had a great time.  They were very brave, then really scared and worked their way up to being brave again.  Even thought they loved the rides I think Lagoona beach was the favorite.  They loved the water slides, the lazy river, and most of all being with cousins.

Barrick loved these cars he rode them at least 15 times.  Here he is with his best pal Kellon.

Lilly was hilarious on the bumper cars.  She got stuck next to this little boy and couldn't figure out how to get away so they just kept hitting each other the whole time, going in circles.  
This ride scared all of the kids a little bit.  Lilly screamed the whole time.  Liam did pretty good but as you can see was a little nervous.
Kalii was a good little helper with these two.
Liam and Paisley loved the airplane rides and did quite of a few of them together.
 
Briony was amazing the whole time.  She LOVED Lagoona Beach, and when she was tired just kicked back and fell asleep.  Seriously she is the BEST little one!!
 
 
Of course with a lot of playing and going every which way we did get to have some down time.  
Lilly adored Braelynn.  She followed her everywhere and told me how she was so pretty and nice.  Thanks Lynnie for humoring my little Lilly.  She had so much fun playing with you. 
Of course Barrick had his projects and plans in Utah also.  I am  just grateful that my family always humors my little inventor.  He wanted to make the greatest most amazing Lunchable ever.  Here is the finished product.  
After leaving the cabin he was obsessed with camp fires, so Addy, Kellon, and Barrick made their own.  
We also had a Minute to Win it party at Aunt Shaunis.  We divided the teams by family, and guess who won with the tiniest little people?  Yep you guessed it the Scotty Stewart family.  Scotty and I had to make up a lot of ground on the adult events! 


This was our first time back since the funeral, and it was nice to go see Dad Stewarts head stone.  I think more importantly for us was to find a new norm in going back to Utah.  It was different but healing. 
 
We LOVED our time there and can't wait till we can make the trip back!
