Utah

I just got home from the reunion an hour ago..all went well..My husband is working out of town so no photos yet because I don't know how..I did take a bunch this last week..Thursday I spent with my second son and family..we went to SLC to Liberty park and watched the 24th parade..then went through the aviary that was free that day only..there are a lot of weird birds out there...then we screened Sam's club for a trampoline for my oldest son..got pizza and hung out at my son's house...I stayed there that night..early Friday I went to find my youngest daughter's apt. I looked everywhere and ..I could not find the east address..I was on the north one...finally I called her from a bowling alley and she said..oh, it is Adam's street..I can see the bowling alley from here...It was fun spending the day with her and her daughter..Saturday was reunion day..I found the western decorations and got them there...yard sales mostly..it was fun..I find yard sales entertaining..
On the way home from the reunion my oldest son and family and I stopped at Sam's club and he bought their 15 foot trampoline that the kids had finally earned with chores and reading etc...and we put it up that evening amid an awesome thunder and lightening storm...okay...when it got raining hard we all bailed but my son..he crouched under it when the worst rain came...he got totally soaked.
on Sunday I went to my sister's ward as she had two sons talking in church..they both did excellent...M just got back from a mission and he still glows...he is awesome...
I had promised N's kids I would go to their church too..except I neglected to ask where it was...they are on every other corner or so in Utah..so I started looking at the ones around their house and at the fourth one I found their car..
Sunday night we all met at my eldest son's house... we ..meaning my second son and youngest daughter and their spouses and kids..the ones who live in Utah...we had a nice dinner..A is a great cook..N has a great carport to party under in any weather..it was fun..then played games inside...and had dessert..Monday morn I picked up mom and we left for home at 6 a.m....uneventful trip home...we did get a break when we stopped to visit my cousin in Cedar city..she was very gracious about us showing up with no notice !!
It was all fun...I rewarded myself with chocolate milk for a great trip..
