Off to Salt Lake City!

Off to Salt Lake, with dinosaur hats and all. We left at 10:00am and Jackson wore his until about 2:00 that afternoon. He didn't take it off one time. Garrett on the other hand had his off before got out of town! He figured out that he wouldn't be able to drink his drink or have his wuh (aka.. binky) if his hat was on. When we got to Salt Lake it was cram time. Shawn decided to stop at Great Harvest Bread....mmmmmm! We havn't had it for years. Then Shawn dropped me off at the hospital for my doctor appt. and took Penny our dog to her appt. with the boys. Apparently that was a little interesting. After Shawn picked me back up we went to his Dad's and met his whole family there. We exchanged gifts with the grandkids. It was really fun! Lots of new toys! The funniest was Garrett got a mop and broom cleaning set from Auntie Amy. He was sooo excited! Incase you don't know Garrett is infactuated with brooms, and vacuums. He held his broom up and did his little dance several times. I am bummed that I didn't take any pictures. Thanks Auntie Amy and Uncle Alex, Garrett asked for his broom the whole way home the next day. Unfortunately it was barried in the back with all the other great gifts that we got from everybody. Then we all packed up and went to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner. I have not been there for years either. We had so much fun! Everybody was laughing and enjoying eachothers company. It was really nice to have Shawn's Mom and Dad with all of us. We were missing one brother though. Colton was out of town. We missed him. After dinner we all headed to Temple Square to see the lights. It was so cold, but always worth it. Below are a few pictures. They weren't really turning out. I hope we can do it again next year!
