Our time with the Bonner's was cousin packed, fun filled awesome days

We spent a few days in the Unitah mountains

Chilling at a cabin, swimming, 4 wheeling, catching snipes & just hanging out

Cousin craziness

Can't get enough of those babies!!

     

Oh you know, just hanging out in the parking lot having a picnic

Spending some cousin time at Pineview

Helping Nana make something yummy!

    

Exploring an awesome new parks with cousins

Round 2 of getting Jo's ears pierced

This time her cousin came along for the ride

Jo had them pierced about a year ago and ended up getting a 

horrible infection in one ear and had to pull them out

Second try and we pierced with pure gold, lucky thing

Hope the last time was an allergic reaction to the metal

Happy to say that she is still doing well with them in!

Taste testing otter pops

I bet she couldn't tell the difference in the flavors but Sam was able to

Finals goodbyes and fun

Getting ready to leave on a jet plane

14 suitcases, 7 carry-ons and one stroller

Until next time Utah!

Out and About

While our Home Leave trip included a lot of awesome big things 

there were also lots of little things that we got caught up on 

Celebrating Independence Day in America!

M&S had gone to Utah in December to start their first portion of securing their drivers license

This was the second portion...driving 6 hours and observing 6 hours with their driving company

We managed to cram all those hours into 1 week

Celebrating Rob's Grandmother's 98th Birthday!!

Hanging out with cousins

Outfitting the whole family with new running shoes

The employees had no idea what they were getting into when our family walked into the store

Visiting some of our favorite food spots...

M, S & A had an awesome opportunity to attend Trek

Trek is a 4 day replica of what our pioneer ancestors endured to cross from the 

East Coast of the United States to settle in Utah

They were able to pull handcarts, sing songs, play games, square dance and interact with so many youth that are their same age

They left looking nice and clean and smiling

They returned home dirty, dusty and still smiling and so happy

I'm so glad they were able to experience this incredible event

Our family attended Music and the Spoken Word put on by the 

Mormon Tabernacle Choir

It was amazing!! We just happened to choose the perfect week to attend

There were 2 Broadway singers that had flown in for the Pioneer Day Program 

and they sang most of the songs that had been presented at the concerts earlier in the week

Making goodies with Nana

Jo didn't love the addition of the zucchini but sure enjoyed the bread when it was all done

Rounding out our college campus visits

Madison is really really happy with the U campus

Visits with family

So happy we were able to spend some time with my Grandma Meredith

Yahoo!!! All their hard work passed off and they 

are now official drivers for the state of Utah
