utah trip - swimming

Most of the trip was rainy and cold. But, finally on our last day there the sun came out just enough to be able to go swimming at the Scera pool. It was that last week of school in Orem and there were about 50 teenagers there and 3 small families. Once the high schoolers left we had the whole pool practically to ourselves. It was a great way to end our visit to Utah.

One of the highlights of our trip to Utah was visiting Rebecca, Jason and the kids at their home in Eden. It was our first time meeting our new little cousin Kingston. He was a huge hit for all the kids. Grace wanted to hold him all day and Garrett even got to hold him for a minute.

The kids also got to help build a fort, played on the mountain side and roast giant marshmallows on the back deck. It is always fun for the kids when they get to see each other. We are looking forward to July when we will all be at Lake Powell together!

A couple of weeks ago, we went up to the Salt River for an afternoon BBQ. It was the perfect day, not too hot yet. The kids had a great time playing in the river, trying not to get washed away. It is hard to tell from the pictures, but out in the main part of the river the water is moving pretty fast!
