Summer Odyssey 2010 - Salt Lake City

Once again Wade and Nicole were kind enough to let us invade their house - if we can *ever* get them to visit North Dakota, we'll gladly return the favor. Haley and Jake enjoyed playing with cousins Ethan, Ellie and Mason in the fabulous back yard (hello, why hasn't the rest of the world discovered back yard misters?!?!?), and we also squeezed in a trip to the Hogle Zoo. The visit went by too quickly, but hopefully it won't be another 2 years before we get to come back.

Cousins lined up, enjoying their root beer floats.


Wade and Nicole, such good hosts they even held Alex for us while we ate.

Grandpa Doug and Haley.



Oh, the fun of sand + water.

Miss Ellie.



Hogle Zoo was H-O-T that day. But still fun.

Mason!


Jake as monkey.

Cutie cousin!

On our way out of town we stopped to have a picnic of Robintino's pizza & garlic bread. Yummmmmm.


We also stopped at Temple Square to show the kids the Salt Lake temple. They loved the visitor's center, as well as watching the brides and grooms getting their pictures taken. What a beautiful, peaceful place.

Lastly we got to stop and visit with a friend from our earliest days in North Dakota. So fun to catch up, and five years is WAY too long between visits...miss you, Kristie!
