Our Trip to Utah: Grant Family

After a wonderful week spent with the Tanner family, we shifted gears to spend time with the Grant side of the family. Over the weekend we made a quick trip to Idaho Falls to visit the Larsens.

We enjoyed a nice family dinner on Saturday with Craig and Tammy and Erin and Bowen and Grandma and Grandpa. The girls loved jumping on the trampoline!

We stayed with Kristi's grandparents and went to church with them, and had a nice visit.

My cousin Erin with her baby Annily, who is just a few months older than Zach.

The drive back to Utah should have been less than a 4 hour drive, but thanks to some really annoying road construction it was over 5 hours in the car. Yuck! But the kids did really well, with the kids mostly just playing games and watching movies.

By Sunday evening all of my sisters were in town for a Grant Family reunion (the Nelsons and the Johnsons drove from Canada, and we met up with the Bybee's who live in West Jordan). We rented a house together for a few days and it was so nice to visit and play together.

We had a fun afternoon exploring the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum.

And we spent some time at Temple Square. We took the official tour of the Conference Center, which we had never done before. It is such a beautiful building. When we were in the auditorium, Richard Elliot walked in and started playing the organ.

What child can resist sticking their hands in the beautiful fountains? Especially in 100 degree weather!

We finished the week with a picnic at Liberty Park, where we met up with our cousins David and Sara and their families, and Aunt Kaleen.
