Chillin' out at HOTEL REAGAN

Our Utah trip was wonderful, fun, tiring, loud, and every other descriptive word in between. Phillip actually woke us up at 3:50 on Saturday. Neither Justin or I set or alarms trusting the other had set his/hers. Lucky us! We were on I-80 by 4:30 with sleeping kids thanks to a dose of Benedryl. Amelia was excited to visit another hotel after our last trip. We called it Hotel Reagan. No elevator, but lots of cousins and a trampoline! I love traveling with Justin driving because then I can crochet or embroider. I ended up crocheting 9 items and embroidering three shirts. Yes! We made our first stop in Rawlins for breakfast at 8 am, a little under halfway. By 12:30 we were in Park City enjoying some shopping at Gymboree. I was FINALLY able to spend a gift card for Phillip 9 months after receiving the gift. Found some darling outfits for the boy and a pair of rocking boots for Mia (probably won't fit her until she is 5).

Justin and Mia went in to visit with all the cousins while Phillip finished his nap. Charity definitely had a full house for the week. Participants included:

Bruce (Dad)
Charity, Kenny, Libby (10), Mason (9), Reagan (5)
Justin, Jenni, Amelia (3), Phillip (9 mths)
Spenser, Laura, Ellie (5), Renae (5), Anna (3), Anson (7 mths)
Melissa, Jonathon, Ethan (5), Grant (2), Newly announced coming baby (due sometime next year)
Raquel, Scot, Emma (6), Elijah (2)

That is 13 kiddos when everyone was in attendance. Charity has a super fun house decked out with a myriad of toys, plenty of cousins, lotsa educational activities, and more fun than should be legal. Charity is the "favorite" aunt. Amelia said, "Charity is in love....with me!" Silly goat. All the girls piled in for a large tubby, Saturday evening. Sunday we all went to church then had a yummy dinner. It was a bit cold due to rain, but still the kids played on the tramp and we all went on a nice walk to see the Llamas/Alpacas.
