We went to Idaho and then Utah. We landed in SLC then rented a car and drove up to Idaho. We hadn't seen my parents in a while plus my younger brother opened his third restaurant and we wanted to see that too. I LOVED the cooler weather. Dain went out for a walk early in the morning and he couldn't get enough of the cooler mornings. We take stuff like that for granted when we're kids!
On the way back from Idaho, we stopped in Ogden, at the Solomon Center and went skydiving ... indoor. Dain and I have both done real skydiving but we thought it would be fun to do as a family. It was a blast! The kids did very well!
We also hiked in the canyons. We love Big Cottonwood Canyon and we were lucky to be able to do a couple of our favorite hikes. This picture was taken on the same rock where we had our very first family picture taken. Cool memories.
There was plenty of snow up on top!!! We had a great snowball fight. Well, they all did. I hid behind the camera. I love this shot of everyone running down the mail slope at Brighton.
After SLC, we went to Central Utah, the town of Joseph to be exact, where we met with Dain's mom, hubby and all his siblings for a quick get together. Dain's mom rented an old church turned vacation rental. It was very cool!!! Dain's family is really into sports so the kids spent the time playing baseball, basketball, riding bikes, etc. I love the colors and the beautiful red rock.
The worst part was saying goodbye to Alyssa and coming back to Texas. It's so far away ....
