September Trip!

We took a road trip up to Utah to visit some friends and family back in September. It was so good to visit and take the time to catch up with so many people. I just wish it could have been longer.

We stopped in Las Vegas to see one of Bob's good friends and his wife, Scott and Janel. We also visited with one of Bob's mission companions, Louis.

Then we went to St. George to see my friend Lindsi and I had the opportunity to be her escort as she went through the temple for the first time. We got to meet her entire family and we had so much fun with all of them.

Then we went to Cedar City to stay with Aunt Judith for a night.

And then we went on up to Herriman to visit Russ and Ashley and their kids as well as Ben, Trina, and Peyton. We went back down to Provo one day to have dinner with a bunch of friends--Scott, Adam and Aimee, Jennie Ray and Jared, Stephanie and Justin.

We even got to go with Russ and Ashley to watch William and Jonathon play in a soccer game while we were up there. They did such a great job! And I got carried away with the camera.

Ashley, their kids, and Bob and I took Graham on his first ever hike too. It was an easy hike. More of a walk, really. But it was fun to go outside and enjoy the beauty that Utah offers as autumn was approaching.

We stopped to see Ben, Trina, and Peyton in Provo at some point while there too. Peyton was really cute and kept trying to play with Graham, but he was just a little small for her to be able to really play at all. But she read him a book and kept handing him toys. It was sweet.

And I got photographic evidence of Ben tossing away Peyton's My Little Pony that he had been playing with.

On the way back to San Diego, we stopped in St. George again for a night to visit Linda. Then we stopped in Hesperia to have dinner with Aunt Donna and Uncle Bruce the following evening before making it home.

We crammed in a lot of fun visits (and I wish I had been better at taking pictures everywhere we went) and we're excited to take another trip again soon!
