We had way too much fun with our family in Utah. After staying with Gma Bell for over a week, we went to Kollan's Optometry conference in Midway. We got to stay in a nice resort with a carousel and a fun swimming pool. As if that wasn't enough fun, Kollan's whole fam stayed in a condo in Park City. We had a great time shopping at the outlets, swimming, and visiting with even more family in SLC.
We just did so many fun things while in Utah. Mom, Karter, Ty and I went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It was wonderful and beautiful, and I was excited for the chance for Karter to see the inside of a temple. I got to see 3 of my wonderful roomates and their familes, who I miss seeing so much. We had fun times at a park picnic, and also got to go on a dinner date. And also Papa Mike took us to the zoo which was fun and such a beautiful day. The highlight was the giraffe who was right up front using his tongue to grab leaves.
We love the Dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving point! Thanks Gma Bell! We also loved our time with other family and friends . Karter enjoyed playing baseball with cousin Andy, and riding wiggle cars with cousin Max. I was glad to see some of my Greenwood family who I hadn't seen for a while.
Karter absolutely loved Kangaroo Zoo and Ty..... well, he didn't hate it near the end. He didn't like being on the inflatables very much but I did manage to get a couple pic with him smiling. He really liked the ball that floated in the air, and Karter was happy to master the really big slide. Ty liked that too- he went down with me. It was a fun time with Grandma Bell, Aunt Suzanne, Angie and Abby.
We had way too much fun in Utah and I thought I'd share a few pics at a time. This is our day at Gateway Plaza and the Clark Planetarium. As you can see, we traveled to the moon as well as Mars. Ty's favorite thing was a huge contraption involving many balls going through all sorts of fun gizmos. Karter's favorite thing was being a weatherman. I was impressed by his natural talent and all the states he remembered. So fun!
I just can't believe that it went so fast. Karter loved Under the Sycamore Tree, his teachers, friends and the class dog Jo-Jo. Now he looks forward to Kindergarten, his 5th birthday and our fun summer trips.
We were married August 23rd 2002 and are enjoying life with our 3 amazing children. We've lived in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and now we're back in Oregon again, where Kollan's enjoying his job as an Optometrist, and part buisiness owner.
