We started the Utah part of our trek in Orem with Auntie Paula and her family. We went to see Wall-e and swam in her pool. And we swam in the pool and swam in the pool. We love Auntie Paula's pool. It was lots of fun.
After 3 days at Paula's we went to visit Matt & Molly and had loads of fun there. Kung Fu Panda was at the Drive In and we had our drive in burgers, loads of popcorn and watched one funny show. Skadooosh! Matt & Molly have a great back yard and deck and we played outside as much as possible since we knew that wouldn't be an option at home. We also went to their nephew's Eagle Scout ceremony. It was a great time.
After 3 days with Matt & Molly--and strangely not a single picture?--we headed to St. George where we met up with DADDY! Yes after 2 weeks without him we were so happy to see him.
The Cruz family & Perry family were there along with Grandma & Grandpa Jenkins and Aunt Denise. It was fun for us to see everyone. We had lots of fun and went to a water park to play and then came home and swam in Grandma & Grandpa's pool. Aunt Denise has all those pictures but lets just say it was super fun and Lewis is one crazy pool guy. He worships the pool. He can hardly wait to get in and you have to watch him like a hawk! He just got out and jumped in to Daddy all day long. The girls--Helen, Mary, Julia & Megan set up a nail salon and painted everyone's nails.

Helen, Mary and I left Daddy, Griffin and Lewis in good hands in St. George and we headed back to Auntie Paula's for our 4th of July fun!! We had tickets to Stadium of Fire featuring Blue Man Group and........Miley Cyrus. Yes you heard right....it was Hannah Montana. Talk about your screaming girls. It was ear piercing in the stadium. I rather enjoyed the Blue Man Group but I think Uncle Boyd, Kurt, John and Emily really were neck in neck with the girls for their excitement for Miley's performance!

First we went to the Freedom Day's Parade and had Grandstand seats. It was really a great parade and we were happy to be sitting in our comfy seats. How many parades have the missionaries in them? Let alone get a standing ovation when they pass? Utah rocks!! Then the girls and I went over to the Freedom Days Festival with lots of crafts and flea market stuff and a free kids area with crafts for kids, free hair-do's, a reptile show, bouncy houses and even rock climbing.
Emily & Mary and not a lizard a skink maybe? Can't remember!
Stadium of Fire hair-do'sWe left Freedom Days, went home, had crepes for dinner (thanks Auntie Paula!) and then were off to the main event....Stadium of Fire! It was fantastic. Glenn Beck was the MC, there were 1300 girls performing an Olympic dance which featured every event for the summer Olympics, parachuter's, a fly by from the Air Force and great performers. The fireworks at the end were spectacular and we couldn't have had much more fun!
