Utah

After California, Ryan headed off to Arkansas for business and the girls and I drove back to Utah with Ryan's parents and stayed at  my parent's house with them for a week.  They were really good on the drive for the most part.  We had such a great time in Utah!  It's been long enough that I am having a hard time remembering what we did specifically on each day but here's what we did in general: some shopping at my "Utah stores," ate at Cafe Rio, took Lucy to a bounce place, took the girls to an indoor kiddie park with rides, played outside on the swing set A LOT, went to BYU campus, played with Grammy and Papa a lot and read books with them at night, visited temple square and Mark & Janae's new apartment downtown, threw buckets of rain water from a torrential downpour out of the basement area, had a picnic lunch outside on a pretty grassy area on a beautiful day in Draper, and I got together with some old friends and roommates.  The weather was so great for most of the time while we were there and I think we spent more time outside than inside, which the girls loved. It was such a great, fun, relaxing trip!

Wednesday: Spent the day in Hemet.  Visited with Ryan's grandparents and their candy closet :) and Ryan's parents who arrived in California the night before and stayed in Hemet.  We went swimming at the Jergensen's pool and then stopped at In-N-Out on the way back for dinner. (Unfortunately I have no pictures to document this day).

Thursday: We went down to San Diego for a Padres game.  On our way home we swung by Portillo's for dinner and chocolate cake shakes.

Friday: Went to Downtown Disney, ate dinner at Earl of Sandwich, and then went back to Rach and Jon's for a bunch of ice cream treats and playing balderdash.

Saturday: Another beach day, ate at Fiesta Tacos again, visited the Donut place again, and hung out in Loma Linda while packing up and getting ready to leave the next morning.

Tuesday: We just our family met up with Craig in Newport Beach that morning at his apartment and then went for a hike up in some mountains right by the beach.  There were beautiful views of the coastline and all of the cities along the way.  Following the hike, we went back to Craig's apartment and ate lunch and took naps.  We ended the day by meeting Jon, Rach, and kids at Huntington Beach for a bonfire.
