Here are some of the hundreds of pictures that were taken on the trip. Keep in mind that we were only gone for five days...
Nevermind that it was COLD outside, Noelle wanted to go swimming...with Papa. She's her father's daughter...
But what if there's an Emergecy???? How will I know if it's an Emergecy???
The view from the pool.
I pink puffy heart love these kids!
I think I'm gonna keep this one until she's a teenager and show her first boyfriend. Hee hee... Oh, and this was HER idea.
Dan let Josh drive the GTI (yikes!) and we split everyone between the two cars and took a nice, scenic drive to Homestead Crater.
Josh, at the entrance to the crater.
Walking into the "pool" area.
The reason that I'm looking less than enthused in this picture is because we were on a floating dock-like thing and every time someone else took a step, it would rock the entire thing. I wanted to keep both feet well away from the edge. So when Josh said "babe, go touch the wall," I complied but I was cursing him in my head the whole time...
Noelle, being a show-off. ;)
We climbed the 564831346 steps to the top of the crater and were able get a 365-degree view from the top. So nice... We got a couple group shots from up there.
I saw this little, random, green bench on the side of the crater and I wanted to make sure I got a shot of all three kids sitting on it. Seemed like a good idea...
And it was. :)
For the whole time that we were there, one of the kids was always on Josh's hip...or shoulders.
Getting a little Ansel Adams-y atop the crater.
The next stop was Bridalveil Falls. No, we didn't teleport back to California. Apparently, there's one in Utah too... I got to share the backseat with little Corom. He even let me play with his car-car for a minute.
Now here's a sight that you don't see every day: unattended tools. And a freakin' GENERATOR!!!
Uncle Josh doesn't just give piggy-back rides, oh no, he gives horsey rides and 4-wheel drive rides. Depending on what was around us (rocks or a path), he'd alternate between the two. He'd 4WD up and over the rocks, benches, etc., and he'd go into horsey mode along the path. He had Corom laughing the whole time.
Dan and Tami put together a nice little picnic lunch...with sandwiches on bread that looked like a mushroom...
On the way back, we passed a reservoir.
The weather in between Park City and Salt Lake City was so crazy! We'd go from cold and sunny, to rain, to just a little chilly all on the drive down. Makes for pretty rainbows though!
The last day that we were there, Josh and I decided to take a walk up the hill next to our condo.
Back away from the sheep... Back away from the sheep....
Note to self: wet snow makes for wet pants...
When we got back into the Salt Lake-ish area, we took a little walk along a bike trail.
True California girl! Excuse the piggies, I'm in dire need of a pedi.
We had a great, great time in Utah and it was so nice to visit with Dan & Tami & the kids! Can't wait to see you all again!!
