first, i wanted to share some highlights of our roadtrip to utah.
as c warned, we were up and on the road at 3:30am the sat. morning before the 4th.
we had the car packed the night before so all we had to do was crawl to the car.
i slept until it got light and spent the most of the trip reading this book.
c did all the driving (bless him), and got us into brianhead, utah around 11am.
as the boys say O.M.G!! {spelling out each letter}
brianhead is just as gorgeous in the summer as it is in the winter.
the boys and i had only seen it covered with snow so this was
a real treat for us! the weather was perfect - sunny and about 80 degrees.
we spent a few days at the cabin hiking, caving, eating/drinking, playing board games
soaking in the jacuzzi, and the kids enjoying the treehouse that grandpa shay built.
a few photos highlights:

| the view was amazing!! |
we headed back down off the mountain the morning of the 4th so we could
see trev and shannon's new home in st. george. it's lovely and it has a pool.
the kids swam for hours.

| exhausted kiddos watching the fireworks from parking garage in st. george (scoutie didn't make it to the grand finale) |
seeing how well the cousins play together and just talking into the night with
trev and shannon reminded me how lucky we are to have them within driving
distance to us. we really enjoy our time together with this sweet family!
