The Hardens in Utah

The week after the 4th The Hardens invaded Utah.  My mom and Richard, my brother Adam, his wife Heather and their 6 kids, my brother John, his wife Cheryl and their twin boys and my sister Audrey, her husband Alan and their 5 kids all traveled far and wide to have some fun with us.

Monday we rode the Heber Train, it was hot and sunny but the kids loved being on a real choo choo train.

Tuesday we went to Hogle Zoo. The Polar Bear was my favorite and all the Lego animals were pretty cool to look at too.  After the Zoo me and Zo went home and took a nap and the rest of the family trucked on to This is the Place.

Wednesday we hiked Ensign Peak as a family (-Kurt he had to work)  I hiked with Zo on my back in the pack the whole way!  After Ensign peak we went to Temple Square, checked out the Visitors Center and walked around the Temple Grounds.  I was surprised at how not Crowded it was. We had Lunch at City Creek Mall and I guess thats where everyone was! The food court was so packed it was giving me anxiety and it takes a lot for me to get that way.   By the time I got my food  I wasn't even hungry anymore, I just wanted to feed Zo and get out of there! After lunch Mom and I did some shopping and relaxed while the rest of the family went to see the Joesph Smith Movie.  Later we went to Wheeler Farms so the kids could milk a cow and then went to yummy Red Robin for Dinner! 

Thursday I had to work but the rest of the family went up to Snow Bird and enjoyed all the festivities.

Friday we went to Provo to tour BYU,  they do a potential student tour that my nephew Preston went on.  We just went on the Regular tour.  It was Pretty interesting actually and Zo loved riding on the Golf Cart.  That night we went to our Church BBQ at the park and just chilled and played.

Saturday everyone left, it was so sad to see them go, but so fun to have them here!  I loved having family come visit us, now its our turn to go visit them!
