Our summer tour of Utah

We were fresh here. Early first day. 
It's 22 hours of driving which makes for a really long 2 days. But the kids are amazing little road warriors and take it in stride.
Lots of windmills and no mountains in sight. Even though we are in northeast Texas it still takes around 8 hours to get out. Texas is just so huge. 
 i love Colorado!! 

We were so happy to be back in the mountains again. We drove through Denver which is a little longer route but so so beautiful. Totally worth it.

We have missed camping so much that we had planned to camp in Colorado Springs. As we got closer the sky got darker and darker and then the rain started.  Suffice it to say we were forced to get a hotel. Which was a bummer. We were looking forward to doing a little hiking and the kids always love sleeping in a tent. 

It was probably for the best though. I don't share in the tent affection, especially after traveling for 12+ hours. Haha. I forgot how exhausting driving is and wonderful a hot shower feels.
 Our first stop was in Lehi to visit Matt and Emma and the cousins.  Uncle Matt grilled up some delicious burgers and Aunt Emma fed us cake for dessert. Our time in Utah was off to a great start!
 The next day we headed to Logan to revisit the motherland where Markham and I met. 
Seriously love that place. 
First stop was The Bluebird for lunch, a heavy dose of memories and a few chocolates.
 I hope it stays there forever. It encapsulates so many happy pastimes during our time in Logan.
 The kids loved the Bookstore and walking around campus. Addie fell in love with Big Blue. 
Sorry Addie we don't have room in the van.
 The A on Old Main Hill 💙
 Big trees could entertain these boys forever.
 Aggie Ice cream!
 It's the best! This sign even says so!
 Baby Knox got lots of love from all the kids
 Cafe Rio in St. George!
Out of all the restaurants we used to go to we miss Cafe Rio the most hands down.
 Jackson is a big fan of Baby Knox. He is always saying how sad he is that we live so far away and baby Knox grows so fast. 
 Kaitlyn and Parker working on a puzzle together. They have always been besties.
 We hit Starbucks to beat the heat. It has replaced our drink stops we used to make to FIIZ, and 7-11 Slurpee runs of course. Not having a FIIZ left a big hole in our lives. haha
poolside cuddles xoxox
Soda Crazy with my girlfriends. 
I didn't get a picture. Dang it. It was super fun to catch up with them and this was absolutely delicious.
Oakley and Knox. 
It was fun to just chill at Aunt Lindsey's house again.
