Utah Hogle Zoo

While we were staying in Salem, there was one afternoon that we planned to take a trip to the Hogle Zoo together as a family. Since we have a pass to the Phoenix Zoo we got 50% off on our tickets to the Hogle Zoo! I guess there is some sort of deal between Zoos across the nation where if you're a pass holder you can get in free or at a discounted rate at most zoos. So we got our whole family in for $20 which is a pretty good deal!

Kimbri loved the splash pad. Especially the fountain thing she is standing on in the next picture that would randomly spray up A TON of water! Yes, she got soaked. But it was such a hot day that she dried off quick!

Kimbri asked me to take her picture
 by the fire hydrant... haha.

We got everyone a Wendy's Frosty for the ride back to Salem from Salt Lake and the kids thought it was pretty amazing and enjoyed every bite of it.

We had so much fun going to the zoo together! I can't believe how much it has changed since the last time we were there when Kimbri was around 1 year old. There have been so many renovations, I hardly recognized the place! I wonder what will change by the time we go there again in who knows how long. But we had a blast and it was a really awesome little family outing! 

Bowling at BYU

On the Saturday before we left to come back to AZ, we decided to do one last little family activity and go bowling at BYU. On our way there we drove past the place we used to live when we lived in Provo. It's where we moved to when Kimbri was just 2 months and it's the house we brought Garrett home to from the hospital. We made a lot of great memories in that little rental home and it was fun to see it again. 

Kimbri and Garrett LOVED bowling and had a blast! We let them share a game and then Rick and I each bowled a game as well. We're just too competitive to go bowling for "fun"... we each needed our own game so we could see who would win. Haha :) And even at almost 30 weeks pregnant, I still totally beat Rick! Ha!

Maryella's Wedding

While we were in Utah Maryella, my cousin, and Greg got married! Yay for marriage! We made it more of a date night since the reception was in the evening and up in Midway and the kids would've probably just been overly tired and cranky being up that late. So Sundee, my amazing mother-in-law, tended Kimbri and Garrett for us.  

First are some pictures when they came out of the Salt Lake Temple and then there are some pictures from their reception :)
