More Utah pictures

We celebrated Caroline's birthday by going to the Museum of Natural Curiosity.  It was so fun the kids could have spent hours there!

They had these cool rope bridges that were a little high for my taste but I faced my fears and went on them anyways.  I did make the mistake of telling Phillip I wasn't keen on heights so he made sure to make me nervous by shaking the bridge while we walked across it. 

See they're kind of high!

Devin's floating head!

This was his favorite part, giant legos.

The boys busy at work.


Caroline and Maya.

Water works!


Trying to make a cloud. 


The kids played so well together, it was so fun to watch.

We went back the next day because we had so much fun, and ventured outside this time.

The smallest marry-go-round I've ever seen.  Loved it.

Caroline on the zip line.

And on the turn table.

Graham digging something up.

Poor George had a rough start at the water table.  We put him next to Andrew who was so excited to play with his buddy he started grabbing George's arm and accidentally scratched him then Devin came and dumped some cold water on his head!  He got over it and enjoyed himself though.

Andrew was in heaven.

Cousins working together.

Any guess where this is headed?

Devin built quite the pipe system.

Very proud.

The boys loved building something "taller than grandpa"

And another day at the super, happy, fun place.  Maya didn't get to go the first day but we went again an had tons of fun again.  Steve even jumped off the bounce house that had a 10 ft ledge that you had to jump off into a pit of foam squares.  It was hilarious and really hard to get out of.  I almost got stuck a few times!  George was very happy to hang out with Grandma.

No trip would be complete without a visit to the Iceberg.  Yum.

One last picture before our flight.

Devin was my seat buddy on the way home.  We had to get up at 4:15 for our first flight and he was so good.  All the kids were, and he really loved all the snacks we got on the flight.  He seemed ready to be on the plane all day.  Oh to be young, and have a window seat, and plenty of leg room!


I feel the same way about leaving buddy!  It was so fun to stay up talking and hanging out together.  We can't wait to go back!

Utah

Ah glorious Utah how we miss you.  It was so fun to relax not have any obligations and hang out with family every day.  I didn't want to go home.  I did feel really bad that we got several people sick once we got there.  Sorry guys our bad!  We had a fun activity every morning then hung out and had a great dinner every night.  It was just amazing.  We got to see my grandparents and Grandma Graham which was fun and it was just fun seeing all the cousins play together.  Steve and Sheri's house was so nice and we had plenty of room so we were never in anyone's space.  Did I mention how fun it was?  What is funny is that while we were gone Nashville got an inch of ice and was below freezing the whole time we were gone so the kids didn't even miss any school because it was canceled.  We also got to stay an extra day and a half because our flight was canceled due to the weather.  I was jumping up and down inside when I found that out.

Caroline was my cute traveling buddy. Shawn had both boys sitting by him and I had Caroline and George.  I definitely got the easier deal. 

She was so excited for her first flight that she could actually remember.

Graham loved the moving walkways in Denver. 

Caroline loved having pretend little sisters around.

Devin meeting Charlie.  The Funk resemblance is strong in these two!  Love it!

Andrew and George were cute little pals.

There have been four babies born in the last year, and Sandra is having one in a few months too!

Lots of cousins at breakfast!

Sweet Devin. 

The boys running around with Charlie.

Hanging out downstairs watching a show on the huge beanbags!

Caroline, Castle, and Maya ready to go.

And Stan, Phillip, Scott and Shawn playing the weirdest video game I have ever seen.

Graham found his new best friend, Charlie.

George and Andrew hanging out.  George was really happy unless Andrew would start babbling.  It really scared him but was so funny!

Hanging out at the Natural History museum. 

Best buddies, really bad picture though.


These two held hands almost the entire time which is probably how Charlie got sick.  Sorry buddy!


Building and earthquake resistant structure.


Learning about erosion. 

Basking in the sun.

Showing off the masks they made.


Devin and a few kids were shooting foam darts at others downstairs.

We went to the super, happy, fun place the next day.  Lots of bounce houses and climbing to do.


Grandpa and George.

Caroline was very into the game.

Deivn enjoying some green ice cream smoothie at Great Grandma and Grandpa Fagg's house.

It was so fun to see my grandparents, they were so sweet and even gave us some of their amazing grape juice.  Love these guys.

Grandma Graham and us.  She really loved seeing the kids and it was so good to see her.
