Mini Vacation!


We stayed overnight in SLC for a couple nights this weekend. A few highlights:

Riding TRAX, although not apparantly a highlight in this picture...




Seeing the nativity scene on the reflection pond. I thought this was so awesome. I was trying to get a really good (centered) picture but some dude had his camera tripod set up right in the middle attempting to capture the same thing. So my picture is off center, but whatever.



The shephards and the donuts that a Young Women's group us.




The big tree in the Joseph Smith Building and hot chocolate.


Perfectly pointed toe while swimming. I posted a similar picture back in the summer. Synchronized swimming in her future? haha


An almost-tragedy - I forgot her jammies!!! Almost as bad as forgetting her 'gee gee'! Luckily after about 15 minutes I was able to talk her into wearing mine! And if you haven't noticed, sticking out tongues for pictures was another theme of the trip.


My macho man finally putting his head underwater. This only took him four years to accomplish.

And the same young man carrying around the list of television channels from the hotel everywhere we went. ?? He could hardly wait to get back and turn the TV to Nickelodeon. What made it even worse was when he discovered the Nintendo 64 controller hooked to the back of the TV!

Hi Natalie! I love the photos on your blog - they're great! I love the one of the temple! Your kids are all so big! It's so great to be able to see them and their cute personalities. Hopefully we can get out to Utah this summer and see everyone! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
