The Great Summer Escape

We took our annual trip to Utah for 2 weeks to escape the Arizona heat. Jeremy drove up with us and then flew back and forth on the weekends. Lots and lots of fun memories and lots and lots of pictures to sort through. Here are some of the highlights:

Devin was very excited to be reunited with his dear friend "Woo Woo" and slept with him each night.


Nana and Aunt Tiff loving on Noah

Poor cousin Claira was afraid of big Owen. They are just a month apart, but she is very petite and he is... not so petite!


The kids always love to go to Grandpa's shop and ride on the forklift

It was so nice to play at the park!





We went to the "Slack Rodeo" one night which we learned is like the practice rodeo for those who don't qualify for the real deal. It was free which was nice since the boys got restless! We went to the real rodeo on the weekend when Jeremy was in town and it was much more exciting.


The Oakley Parade on the 4th of July

We kept Owen happy with ice cream and suckers

Noah enjoyed his first parade cuddled with Tiff


Devin liked seeing all of the horses


And then Nana had her work cut out for her keeping him from getting run over as he ran after the candy being thrown


This picture makes me laugh cuz there were some dancers that went by and then Kenyon just kept staring with his arm stuck in the air


Maya showing off her candy





Next we headed to the Jr Rodeo


Where the kids got to line up...


and try to catch a chicken!


Noah slept through it all
