2015 Utah Trip-Fireworks at Romney Stadium

 One the 3rd of July we headed up to Utah State for the fireworks.  We love Logan so much and miss not being able to go there whenever we want.

 Romney Stadium always puts on a good show and this one didn't disappoint.  They had Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band.  The boys hadn't heard it before and thought it was great.

 The fireworks were awesome1

 I think our favorite however was the laser show that went one.  They had really good music and our family danced like crazy (it helped it was in the dark and nobody could see us...)

Oh how we love our Aggies and Cache Valley!

2015 Utah Trip-Eva's Bakery

One of the places I had been dying to try in Utah since moving away was Eva's Bakery.  My mom speaks french and was pretty excited to try it with me.  I'm not quite sure why we didn't invite my brother who just came home from France...

The breads looked scrumptious. 

 We did tea and brunch and it did not disappoint.  The food was heavenly.   I did the quiche and my mom did the macaroni and cheese. Both were so good..

It was so much fun to see everyone and spend time with my family I miss so much!

2015 Utah Trip-Drive In Movie

 I love that I can take pictures with my phone, but sometimes the pictures aren't that great...which is what happened here.  We went to a drive in movie with my sister and her family.  I remember doing this as a little girl with my family and we loved it.  My kids also loved the whole drive in experience.

 The kids all played games while waiting to watch the double feature of Inside Out and Tomorrowland.

We had such a wonderful time!  Good memories.

2015 Utah Trip-Lake Mary

 Our family has long had a tradition of hiking to Cecret Lake.  We went with one of my high school friends on a new hike this trip up to Lake Mary.  It was such a beautiful hike and the boys loved getting to know Sabra's kids.

Oh how we miss the Utah mountains.  They are so breathtaking!

 My kids love any experience where they can just run all over and be crazy.  This was one of those wonderful times.

The boys climbed and explored to their heart's content and had a truly wonderful day.

Utah Trip 2015-Bowling/Mini Golf

 One of our favorite things about our Utah trip, was getting to spend time one on one with most of my siblings and their families.  They all planned such fun things for us to do together.  When we stayed with David and Stacey and their families, they took us to Fat Cats for bowling and glow in the dark mini golf.  The lesson that we learned was...the Nelsons need to do both of these things more often.  None of us were very good at either thing.  We had a good time though!

 Everyone was pretty willing to help McKay with the bumper and that little bowling ramp that he got to use.  I think that we were all thinking that our score would be vastly improved if we also used those things...

 I took a lot of pictures of the boys bowling and we get pretty creative with the form.  

 Palmer and Savanna are such good buddies.  I wish they got to see each other more often.

 Look at all of those blondies!

 Lots of help for McKay.  I'm not sure he needed this much help, but they were happy to offer it.  

 The glow in the dark golf was very cool.

 The boys loved it.

It's so funny that we still haven't found any places like this in Georgia.  I am sure they are there, but we haven't ventured out to them yet.  I think I need to get more adventurous.
