Utah Vacation

I became six months pregnant on this vacation....and I felt it! Luckily, I knew that was going to happen, so we didn't plan anything too crazy and we really had a great time! We piled into a mini van with my sister and her three kids, drove through the night and headed to Rexburg, Idaho. We visited some old friends and I met a whole Fillmore side of the family that I never knew existed! They are awesome! I met cousins, aunts and uncles, and grandma Fillmore for the first time. I was really happy to learn how awesome of a family I'm a part of!

We then headed down to Brian Head, UT where we went to the Rire Family Reunion...where there were even more people from the Fillmore side of the family to meet. It was very high in the mountains, but the views and atmosphere were breath taking (both figuratively and physically...we were at 9,200 feet elevation, I didn't breathe much while I was up there). Garrick got sick on the last night we were there....which was not so much fun, but we got through it.

After a great stay at the reunion we went to Orem where we stayed at my Uncles house where Garrick fully recovered before our drive home (thank goodness!)and Matt got a chance to meet and hang out with some cousins from my side of the family. After a few days of Matt and my Uncle Pat planning hunting trips and talking about civil war tactics, we headed home.

With only a few stops because of puking children (ok...child, not Garrick thankfully--I was really tired by then and don't know if I could have handled it) and Matt driving mostly the whole time, we made it home! But unfortunately our house was 89 degrees! Our air conditioning had broke while we were gone. After a few calls we got it fixed and by that evening we were comfortably home again!

So after 10 days of vacation....we were exhausted, but it was so worth it!
