Family Vacation (Part II)

This post is long over due. I have had the pictures all loaded, but never got around to putting captions to all the pictures....so here it goes!

On the way home we first stopped at Temple Square to see the sites, take pictures, and eat at the Lion House. The kids loved the temple and spending more time outside. 


The kids were SO tired and napped whenever they got the chance in the car...Is it any wonder why Carter has so many cavities already?! He would NOT let me take the sucker out of his mouth. He would wake up, put it back in his mouth and go back to sleep. Oh that stubborn child - I wonder where he gets it from?!


The boys LOVED staying in a hotel on the way up and back from our trip. They thought it was so fun to sleep in a big bed together. Dad made it fun too with a tickle torture before bed time!



We made a stop at the Grand Canyon and wow, what a site! We went to the North Rim so it was less touristy than the South. I definitely will wear better shoes next time! The boys did great and were troopers consider how stinkin hot it was. I was a bit nervous with the narrow pathway and the little rock barrier on the side to keep people from falling. We kept the boys close and Maylee in our arms. 

 
 


Carter was being a stinker and didn't want to take a picture with the rest of the family. Drew decided to do some cool moves for the camera!


We ate a very expensive lunch and ice cream followed by a stop at the gift shop to get some rubber knives for the boys and a little spoon for our collection.



And with that we were on the road again anxious to get home and settled. The kids were all asleep when we got home. We transferred them all to bed and got some much needed sleep!
