Utah, Arizona and California

After we left Yellowstone we went to visit Mary-Anne, Jacob and Hannah!
 

 

 

 

 
 We had a really fun time playing with cousins and celebrating pioneer days
 we went to a really fun park, but it was a little too HOT to play very long- so we had an early dinner instead!
 Then we headed to the Grand Cayon- it was almost to amazing to absorb it all
 We went to the look out building with a spiral stair case

 It was windy, but the sun was out and it was beautiful
 Next stop was to Visit Grandma Rucker. we had a wonderful chat and went out to dinner
 we were lucky to get to know her, and let the kids meet their great grandma
 A tradition of ours is to visit different zoos
 the Phoenix zoo was really cool- if we lived close I would totally get a zoo membership and go often
 so this Elephant is NOT real...however they had REALLY amazing sculptures around the zoo that look life like
 Then we were lucky enough to visit Grandpa Swift! we had a wonderful afternoon chatting, and playing and getting to know him
 Grandpa Swift reminds me of Malachi...they are so much alike!
 Grandpa Swift is a really good baseball player- so when we were in the car we saw his glove. I love Andrew's face! it was like it was holding a pro-players glove!
 After we said good bye to Arizona we headed to LEGO LAND
 SO much fun! I'm grateful we went, our kids were the PERFECT age to love everything there
 lots of waiting, and it was very HOT, however the rides were great and lots of creative lego creations everywhere

Then we headed home, It really was a wonderful vacation, but very long and we were grateful to come back to the normal weather and calmer schedule!
