Our Utah trip

Back in August we had the opportunity to go to Utah for my husband's cousin's wedding. We decided to drive all the way out there. We're crazy, I know! It really wasn't that bad it was just a lot of driving. A LOT....A LOT!!

On the way out to Utah we drove up to the panhandle of Texas, over to Albuquerque, NM, through a small corner of Colorado and up through southern Utah. On the way back we went through northern Utah, over to Wyoming, down to Colorado, over to Kansas, down to Oklahoma and back to Texas! It was over 3000 miles that we drove!

We had an amazing time and we were able to see family that we haven't seen in several years. Here's some highlights of our trip out west!

Outside the Albuquerque Temple





There were these big and beautiful rocks that were so randomly placed along the road. So cool!

When we got to southern Utah we stopped at Arches National Park. This place is so awesome. I have been there before but my husband hasn't. I haven't been there since I was a kid so I don't really remember much of it. The park was about to close so we didn't even get to scratch the surface of this park. But at least we can now say we've been there and will remember it.

Levi just wanted to throw rocks the whole time. This is the perfect place to do that!

Matt and Levi climbed up to the top of this rock. Levi was so excited to be so high!


The arches are amazing to look at.


After the wedding we ate lunch at The Pie in downtown Salt Lake. Look at that pizza! All the toppings and the dripping cheese! Oh my glory it was so good! If you are ever there you MUST go to The Pie!


In Provo we saw Mader! How awesome is this thing?!? This is a real truck that someone actually made to look like Mader. I saw this and even though it was pouring rain I had to take a picture. Levi was scared to stand next to it so the picture I have of him with Mader he is crying. Oh well...it was still fun to see.


We were also able to go jet skiing in Flaming Gorge in Wyoming with Matt's awesome brother and sister in law. There wasn't anyone out on the lake and it was so peaceful and quiet! We had the whole lake to ourselves. I think that is me with Levi on the jet ski. It was a blast and a great way to finish our trip.

We love our family and can't wait to see everyone again!
