We went down to Utah this weekend to have some fun. Not that Idaho isn't fun, because we love living here, but sometimes it is good to get away. We left Friday after Sean got done with school. My mom and dad let us borrow the "grandma car" to take down. It gets much better gas mileage than our two cars. We stopped at Brett and Margaret's for a late dinner. It was so nice of them to invite us over. Then it was down to Provo to stay at my Auntie Em's and Uncle James'. My sweet cousin Kate was there with her precious baby girl Arleigh who really is the cutest thing!!! I loved holding her, although June got very nervous when I did. She didn't want her mom holding another baby (I wonder what will happen when baby brother or sister comes along!!!!).
On Saturday we went to Lagoon with Brett (Sean's twin brother) and Margaret. We had a great time. I love roller coaster rides and I literally pranced from ride to ride. We went on Wicked first(shown below), it was brand new last year and I had never gone on it before. It was pretty intense and it ended up being one of my favorite rides. I also love Colossus (Sean and I went on it 4 times) and the Rocket: Re-entry (the other picture). We got to go on almost all of the good rides, but we didn't have time for Lagoon-a-beach, which is too bad because I love water slides as well. I ate way too many treats while I was there, but it was worth it - I will just work out harder this week.
My darling little June bug didn't come to Lagoon with us. She stayed in Provo with my Auntie Em and my sister Rose, who was already down there. I missed her terribly while we were apart (I know, I am such a pansy), but she was well taken care of, and she had more fun there than she would have done at Lagoon. We got back from Lagoon at around 8:30, and I think we were both happy to see each other again. Later that night we watched Transformers with my cousins because the night was still young and I was still on my sugar and caffeine rush. We headed back home on Sunday morning. It was a fun weekend and I am glad that we got to stay with my Auntie Em and Uncle James. I have always loved coming to their house - in fact I used to cry when I had to go home. They are too good to me and my family, I love them tons. Also, I just wanted to add some pictures of my girl (no post would be complete without one). The picture above is when we were filling up the pool and she stuck her head in a puddle of mud. The second one is just of her being sweet before bedtime.

Yes caroline you did prance between rides. I'm sure all your "prancing" and screaming on the rides made up for the extra caloric intake. I'm glad that you guys had fun though. Brett and i had so much fun we're glad you came down.
SOOOOO JEALOUS! Craig and I had planned on going to Lagoon for our anniversary this year...things change I guess. Pregnant people are not supposed to ride fun rides...so I suppose it will have to wait for year or two.
I am glad you had fun!
Caroline, dear, I think that you can have some treats and not worry about working out. You are too skinny as it is. I'm glad that you guys had a fun weekend. I'll be mailing you an invite to Kali's baby shower soon. Hope to see you there on the 12th of July.
We're so glad you Idaho kids come to Utah now and then. We love it! The highlight was the goodbye kiss from June!! She was probably just so glad to be leaving with her mom she would have kissed anyone. I don't even care, Uncle James and I both got a good kiss. What a sweetheart. Love you all.
Sounds like lots of fun Caroline. I also LOVED spending a week at Aunt Mems and Uncle James house during the summer. They are good times never to be forgotten. I have some of the best Aunts and Uncles around!!! You are very brave to go on such scary rides too. I am a pretty big scaredy cat when it comes to rides.
