Our Utah List





So, after a wonderful vacation in Utah, we sat down for dinner in Las Vegas and made a list of all the fun things we did in Utah. Here it is:
-Went to the Sand Dunes and dug a giant hole. Evie liked sliding into the hole. Marea was made into a sand mermaid.
-Marea learned how to swim in the jacuzzi. It just clicked. She was going under, kicking and dog paddling. Swimming isn't scary anymore. It's FUN. This is going to be an AWESOME summer.
-We went on a hike and Marea spotted a desert tortoise. Pure exhilaration!
-Marea and Gary made a pretty awesome fairy house.
-Evie and the bees. Night Night bees! Go away bees! No no bees! She has a funny relationship with bees.
- We found a nice sandy spot in the front yard, and brought out our sand toys and buckets of water. Evie liked just dumping the water out. Marea is so patient with her sometimes.
-We went to the froggy pool! And on the big waterslide.
-Marea and Uncle Robby made her a crown, out of the insides of bottle boxes.
-We got to play with Auntie Sam, too!
-We got more sand and rocks for Hilltop. The red sand is one of the most favorite play things at preschool. The kids play with it every day!
-Marea watched Mary Poppins for the first time, and loved it!

Now Marea keeps telling me that she wants to live in Utah. It would be wonderful.......
