Utah Part 1

New transmission, new tires, new windshield wipers and about 3000 dollars later we slammed the door on the good old minivan and headed southeast. Time for us to join the annual exodus to Utah. The date, July 21st. We arrived early and not so bushy tailed the next morning. We pushed straight through to Provo. YUCK. I really hate that all night drive, but it is so nice to have the kids sleep through the duration of the drive.
We were fortunate to arrive the day of the impromptu Childs family gathering. Wayne was in town from Abu Dhabi so My Mom quickly planned a small reunion. I am so glad we were there and able to see everyone.

Wilma Childs Nielsen and Grover Childs and as much family as we could gather.

We finally got to meet baby Kaiden! Kaiden is only 2 weeks older then Lincoln. So much fun to catch up with Amber, Spencer, Kaiden, Jen and Chris.

The happy couple...wedding bells are so so close. I finally go to meet DAVID.

Enjoying cousin play time...Conor and Josie were in heaven with all the great cousins to play with.
