Utah in October













So we went for a week to visit my family in Utah. We had such a good time and we were able to enjoy some real fall weather - and a little winter weather as well. One of the days we were there it snowed! So, Ryan, Jamie and Ava stayed at my parents most of the time we were there which was really fun and Jamie and I took the girls to the zoo one day. If you can't tell by the pictures - we were FREEZING! It was one of the fastest trips I have ever taken to the zoo. We rented the two seater stroller and put all three of them in. Then Jamie and I literally ran them around to the animals. All in all we were not there much longer than a half hour. Next time we need to dress warmer or go to the Phoenix zoo - the weather at the Phoneix zoo is just starting to get nice! So another day Jamie made sugar cookies and then we let the girls frost them. As you can tell by the pictures they thoroughly enjoyed it! London didn't eat any of the cookie, she just licked the frosting off - not a bad idea! On Saturday we went down to Provo and went to Cafe Rio with everyone and then we dropped the girls off with one of Jamie's cousins. She babysat the girls while we all went to the BYU football game. Part of the reason we made the trip to Utah was so we could meet the boy Rachel has been dating - Braden Brown. They are all in love :) and so we needed to meet him. He is so cute and we had a great time getting to know him. He is playing on the BYU football team (he is red shirting this year) so that is why we have to watch every BYU football game for the next few years! When we went to the game we sat in Braden's parents seats that are right behind the players and very close - it was so much fun to be that close-I just love football and fall!!! Anyway, we had a fabulous trip and of course we went to eat at the Dodo and Hires a couple of times to make our trip complete! We can't wait to visit again!

It was fun seeing you briefly. I was wondering who that cute guy was with Rachel. In love huh?! Today was the day to go to the zoo in SLC. We went & the weather was perfect. Sorry you missed it. Come back soon! Glad you got Cafe Rio, Dodo & Hires, 3 of the best!

Looks like lots of fun. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who's world revolves around food. Any time we visit Utah, Hawaii, San Jose, San Diego I have my places we HAVE to eat at...Doug nearly lost a limb last time we visited Utah and he didn't want to squeeze in going to Gandolfo's. The pics are super cute...and those cookies look so good..yum!
