No Time for Jet Lag

My dad warned/threatened that as soon as we landed in Utah, he would keep us running and there would be no time for R&R. He said it was pay back for what we did to him when he visited HK. Although he wasn't the only one responsible, we were definitely kept BUSY! So much so I only remember one day waking up super early with jet lag, and I think the earliest I went to bed the entire trip was 10:30 p.m.

Other than shopping and spending time with family and friends, these are some of the fun activities we did while Cody was in Utah with us (at least the ones we got pictures of):

Sutherland family reunion (my mom's side of the family) at Bear Lake. We had 65 people there, about 30 of which were the offspring of my cousins. Some of my cousins I hadn't seen for over three years! Too bad I was too busy chatting and playing to take many pictures...


Hogle Zoo with the Rowland girls (the boys were out fishing and hiking). Kensley and Jim flew in from Phoenix for the weekend. It was an absolute blast hanging out with my sister-in-laws again. Can I just tell you how much I LOVE them?! SO much. Jadyn adores her cousin Paisley. Aren't they the cutest?!

We thought they would enjoy going down the slide together...
We thought wrong.

Swimming at Bountiful Rec Center.
Bountiful Parade and Carnival.
Camping at the Lewis' cabin at Strawberry Reservoir.


Add on lots of shopping, delicious food, volleyball, movies, and just good ol' hanging out, and I think Cody was pretty well satisfied before heading back to HK!

Oh my goodness, I MISS you and I didn't even get to physically see you! Jaydn's hair looks so long and I finally detected a small baby bump on you- you look great Cole!

This post makes me realize that I didn't take any pictures of us! What?!? Why am I so lame? It was so good to see you and I'm happy we got to play for the short time that we did.

By the way, that picture of Jadyn and Paisley is darling. It made me laugh out loud.
