Salt Lake Trip

After our trip to Logan went so well, we decided to venture on another road trip back down to Utah with Kristen and our Friends Jeff, Laura and Jack. We were a little worried about spending five hours in the car with two little babies and then cramming five adults and two babies in one hotel room, but to our surprise the trip was a success and we all had a great time! We squeezed ourselves into Tyler's parents' mini-van and headed for Salt Lake on Sunday. We stayed in one room at the Plaza hotel, right across the street from Temple Square.

On Monday we went to the Trolley Square mall and ate at the Rodizio, one of those restaurants where they keep bringing you meat and you keep eating it until you're so full you can't move because it's so good! Then we wondered around the mall and took pictures of our families.

Family Fun!

With the Johnson Family... we love them!

That night the boys and Kristen went to the Jack Johnson concert, leaving Laura and I and the babies behind. We didn't mind too much because they left us with money and we hit up the Gateway Mall and did a little shopping. This too was an adventure... the boys slept for most of it but we both had to use changing rooms to nurse in... I'm sure none of the employees noticed me grabbing a handful of clothes not even my size and running into a changing room with a crying baby. I'm sure they weren't suspicious when I was in there for 15 minutes either... oh well. We had fun even on the walk back to our hotel when Parker and Jack decided they had had enough and began a chorus of screaming for the last two blocks or so.

On Tuesday we went to Temple Square and toured the 1.4 million square foot Conference Center (I had no idea it was that big!). That was about all we could do because soon after that the little boys decided they were ready to go back to Boise! So we loaded up and headed home. We were all very impressed with how good the babies were through out the trip.

It was also really fun to get to spend time with Kristen before she moves down to Provo for school in a couple weeks. I'm really going to miss her and I know Parker was happy to have his aunt around!
