To get caught up: our trip to Salt Lake City in July. The girls and I went out for a few days and as usual, had a great time. The weather was beautiful, we did some fun things and spent lots of good time with family. The girls love it there, as there is always someone around to play with (they have 16 cousins on the Roden side, ages 17 to 1).
Loveland Living Planet Aquarium
I had seen a list of "child-friendly activities to do in Salt Lake City" and we had already done most of them in past years, but one thing on the list we had not done: the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium, perfect for my nature-loving girls!
Swimming
We spent a beautiful afternoon at a city pool, which had a gradual entry (great for the little kids) and a gorgeous backdrop.
Park City
The weekend we headed up to Park City they were having a special art fair so we got to see some great art, eat yummy food and listen to music.
Can't Wait Until Next Year

 |
| We were treated like celebrities, with this sign to greet us when we got to the house. |
