Back to the Beehive

Our trip to Utah in October was loverly! 12 days, saw a lot of family, hung out with a few friends, drove a lot, ate at all our favorite restaurants, felt quite nostalgic, gorgeous weather and fall foliage. Wow, I'm totally speaking in #hashtag now. But yeah, that pretty much sums up our trip.
Commencing photo dump...now! Actually, I wasn't very good at taking pictures of all the stuff we did so there isn't a ton. Anyway...

We went to Afton, WY to visit Trey's grandparents. It was so great to see them and catch up. Gma Bobby showed me boxes and boxes of things she made out of plastic canvas and yarn. It was crazy!! She tried to get me to take a bunch of it so I ended up with 2 small boxes for Lucy to play with.
The girls had fun. Lucy loved to follow Gpa Bill around and ask him questions. She also thought it was fun to follow Gma Bobby around and see all her "treasures".

Lucy took this one of Gma Bobby. I loved her house slippers.

 Our kid hates posed pictures. She was not happy about it at all as you can see.

  Lucy took this one. I love how everyone's head is tilted to the side.

We stopped in Logan on the way back from Afton. I miss that place so much. We went to Merlin Olsen Park, a place that we used to go play at a lot. It was so strange but fun to go back with our 2 kids. Ruby loved being out of the car. :)

Lucy had a blast in the little stream throwing rocks and apples.

We met Traci, my ex-coworker, at Charlie's for some ice cream. Miss that place. Miss that Traci.
We also stopped in Wellsville to see Grandma Darley and Aunt Brenda and Uncle Dave.
We stayed in Centerville with my parents for a few days and went to the zoo and randomly ran into my friend Callie and her two cute girlies. They were our good friends in Logan.

It took Luce a little while to warm up to her cousins but after a little while they were giggling and having a great time together.

Laughing at the monkeys. Love Ruby's face here.

Luce said her favorite animals at the zoo were the seals. They were pretty fun to watch.

We also went to Gardner's Village and Trey went to a BYU game. We also ate at some yummy places(Pei Wei, Zupas, In-N-Out, Orange Leaf) and hung out with the fam. Mel, Scott, and Ben even came by to say hi.
Then we went to Tooele for a few days. We went to the Gateway Mall, Blue Iguana, and then checked out the new City Creek Shopping Center. Holy moly, that place was amazing!!! We met up with Matt and Kristy and Heath and Helen (our soon to be sister-in-law).
We checked out the new Sheels, complete with indoor ferris wheel! Lucy wanted to ride in it so bad so we waited in line for an hour to ride on it for 5 minutes. We went to Thanksgiving Point to the Barnyard Boo. Luce loved all the farm animals and rode a pony for her first time. She loved it!

We went on a little hayride.

We also hung out with Trey's high school friends and their wivies a few times and had a bonfire. It was a pretty busy trip but we had such a great time catching up with family and friends.

Here we are on the plane ride back home. Ruby was getting a little restless the last hour of our flight. She did so awesome the rest of the time though. Such a rockstar.

He he, love her face in this one.

And just like that we were back home in Hershey.
