vacation time!



We had a wonderful trip to Utah over July 4th to be with the Tolsma's! It was just a perfect trip. We flew out to be with Grandma Tolsma for her big birthday, and spent a week with family. We covered a lot of ground...going all the way up north to Mirror Lake in the Uintas and all the way south to Cedar City and Zion's national park. We did a lot of fun things....here are just a few pictures documenting the trip:

In the Uintas...yes, there was snow on the ground! We were freezing....didn't think of packing any long-sleeves coming from hot Texas!

Cute Kayla!

BBQ in the beautiful Utah summer weather...

Jeff and his dad...do you see a resemblance??

Me & my old roommates....It was fun catching up with them!

I spent some time with Grandma & Grandpa Bates...and got to see my cousin Michelle and her cutie pie kids.

Aren't these kids fun?!?

We went to the stadium of Fire....super fun and patriotic. And we got to see Carrie Underwood perform!


Hiking in Zion's National park....I just love how beautiful Utah is.
Some other trip highlights were: celebrating Grandma T's birthday, watching Twilight, the remodeled home surprise, driving the Mazda 3 rental car, seeing Rachel & the Gills, and spending time with Kevin & Shari. We had such a great time with everyone....and wish we were still together!
