Trip to Utah and Idaho

This past weekend we flew to SLC Utah, spent the night with my sister Angela, drove to Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, attended a Worth family reunion (Richard's Dad's siblings and families), drove back to SLC, hung out with Worth family (Richard's siblings) and spent another day with Angela. Here is the trip, as documented through photos:

Above is Asher with his cousin Jesse who is the same age. Getting a picture of the two of them was quite a trick since "playing together" at this age pretty much means stealing toys from each other.

Here is Naomi with cousin Haley. They are best friends and just love to play. Their little imaginagtions just run wild together.

Here is cousin Logan playing piano with Asher. All of Angela's boys were great helpers and my kids really enjoyed them.

Here is Naomi with cousin Andrew. Naomi is a devoted follower of Andrew's. I think she asked me at least 300 times during the 2 days we were with them "Where is Andrew?" It seems Naomi just couldn't quite keep up. But she sure had fun trying.

Naomi playing peek-a-boo with cousin Scott and Asher. (We were about to go swimming at the fabulous pool at Lava Hot Springs.)

Asher and cousin Scott taking a bath together. I guess I have a thing for putting embarassing photos of Asher on this blog. Sorry Asher. You're just too cute.

At the family talent show, cousin Hyrum (seated) re-enacted The Cheeseburger Song from Veggie Tales. Hyrum's Dad, Carl sung and Richard accompanied them on the guitar.

We ended the reunion with a visit to the graveyard in Lund, Idaho where Richard's Grandparents are buried.

The Grant Worth Clan then gathered at Richard's sister Nancy's house is SLC for a little more hanging out and dinner. The dinner was scrum-diddley-umptious. But their little town house was pretty much filled to totally over-flowing. This photos is Richard's sisters Stephanie and Nancy posing with a cut-out of Karen, who is serving her mission right now.

So we headed back to Angela's house for the night and the next day.

We went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Pointe.

Adorable little Jesse and Asher again - playing side by side while totally ignoring each other.

Cousin Roscoe and Asher were good buddies. Roscoe was a big help.

Asher, Naomi, Haley, and Levi about to be eaten by a Prehistoric Shark.

Alltogether - I need more recovery time from this short trip than I did for my 2 week trip to Texas. It was quite a whirlwind - but a load of fun. And we are so glad we got the chance to play with those far away cousins. We love you all!
