June was a great month full of family and friends!! At the beginning we took a trip to Utah to see the Lincoln side of the family. Above our kids are having a grand time playing with cousins as they're setting off rockets in the field.
We celebrated Nate's dad & niece Ryan's birthday with a little cookout in the backyard. What says happy birthday better than s'mores?
While we were there, Nate & I got to escape for an overnight getaway. We went to the Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake and it was so much fun! They have all different themed rooms from Egypt to Swiss Family Robinson complete with a bed in a tree etc. We ended up in the Cape Cod lighthouse room, but we were able to tour almost all the other ones. We definitely want to go again.
Here was a our yummy breakfast!
The fun light house (w/ circular bed inside) in our room.
We spent a little time exploring downtown SLC and came upon some STRANGE things...
We also got to take a carriage ride around temple square. The whole 24 hours were so relaxing, thanks to Mom & Dad Lincoln who babysat for us :)
Then the whole Lincoln crew went bowling together.
The kiddos give it a go...
McKinley & her cousin Disney were content watching with the mommas.
I love this picture! Disney's so excited and McKinley almost looks like she's rolling her eyes. We soon found out she was running a fever that day & totally not herself.
Tyler & Ella - so cute you know they're up to something ;)
Lexi & Ryan posing after they had put on a play for us.
Fun in the sprinklers.... so fun! Atleast for the moment....
Seconds later these two collided & it ended with a couple fat bloody lips :(
Saratoga Springs and surrounding communities have this nice parade every year. Here are Lexi & Tyler waving to Smoky the Bear. I love the mountains in the distance.
Colton enjoying the parade, with our niece Kylie in the background leading her band as drum major.
The older kids even got to take a spin on Grandpa's sail boat.
With daddy too. (Love the lake with the snow-capped mountains)
We also took Lexi & Tyler to a Mormon Taberncale Choir Rehearsal at the conference center. Looooved it! I was able to visit with a friend in the choir afterwards (despite all the crazy security).
Beautiful SLC temple lit up at night.
Overall it was a wonderful trip to Utah, full of lots of great times & memories with family.
Later in the month we got a turn with some of the Butler side of the family. My parents & best friend both visited, coincidentally arriving on the same day. Here the kids are having some much needed Gramma & Grandad time!
Here's McKinley with my best friend's daughter Ally, 6 months apart in age.
Cuddle time with Auntie Kristen! She & her daughter were only able to stay for part of a day, but we'll take it!
We had a few days with my parents and filled it up with lots of fun stuff like swimming and local festivals etc. Always love to have family come to our neck of the woods :)
Yay for Gramma!
McKinley's classic cheeseball grin. Can't get enough.....!!!
