Our Trip to Utah

We went to Utah for two months while Joseph studied for STEP 2 and did a cardiology rotation with his Dad.  We had a wonderful time thanks to our wonderful family.  It was so GREAT to be by family for a little while.

Here are a few highlights:

One of our first things we wanted to do when we visited UT was enjoy the mountains.  We hiked up Holbrook Canyon.  

We went to the Boone Reunion.  I was nervous taking the kids camping, but they had a great time thanks partly to all the equipment Joseph's mom brought.  Nicholas was filthy the WHOLE time.  His favorite part of the camp was a small whirlpool in the stream.  He dropped all sorts of things down it.  Nicholas also loved the fire.  (Nicholas still asks, "Is it still time for the U PUT YA.")

We had the first Muhlestein reunion.  All the Muhlestein kids and grandkids were together!  We did the Alpine slide and hiked Donut Falls.

 I had the BEST BIRTHDAY!  I went to a day of education week down at BYU while Joseph's mom watched the kids.  We then went to the Muhlestein's for a crayfish boil!  IT WAS FABULOUS.  Nicholas requested a spoon for his butter.

We explored the new City Creek Center and Nicholas went to a movie at the Planetarium. 

We spent two days down in Provo.  We slept over at Joseph's brother's house and caught up with some old friends.  Will and Lexi hung out.  He taught her how to climb the stairs and inspired her to be more mobile.

We went to the Brigham City Open House.  Nicholas loved his booties so much 

that he refused to take them off.

We drove through American Fork Canyon and enjoyed the Autumn leaves.  We then walked up to Bridle Veil falls.

Nicholas LOVED reading stories with Grandma Wells.  He loved reading the Red Balloon.  He was convinced he could go out and fly off with six balloons.

 

We hung out a lot at my parents.  My mom saved all of our old toys.  Nicholas had a blast using them all.

We went down to Thanksgiving Point and enjoyed the Dinosaur Museum.

We saw the new Aquarium.

We visited Tracy Aviary.

We visited all our great Grandparents.

We went to the zoo a lot.

WE HAD SO MUCH FUN.  

WE MISS YOU ALL!!!
