Family Reunion...  Brandon and I decided to ride our bikes to and from the reunion site.  It was actually harder than we though, given that the road contained some pretty steep grades; however, we had fun.  Utah is definitely cooler than the 100+ temps we are missing in Arizona.

This is a 4 generation picture from this year.  Last time we took one (3 years ago) my great grandma was still around.  Unfortunately, she passed away while I was pregnant with Melanie.

Enjoy:

Tuesday, Brandon, Melanie and I went to Salt Lake City (the reunion was over and we were still on vacation).  We walked about 2 miles to, from, and around Temple square.  It was beautiful.  I will post a few pictures went I get home and down load them to my computer.

Brandon, Melanie and I checked out the Utah Hogal Zoo on Wednesday!  What a blast that was.  Melanie LOVED IT!  (Until it was so past her nap time that she was misearable.)  Bless her heart, she didn't want to ride in the stroller or have daddy carry her, so I got to carry her the last mile, with her on my chest sleeping.  *sigh* that was definately a work out. 

Then (after the much needed nap), Brandon, Melanie, and I checked out the Jordan River and Bountiful temples.  They were also beautiful.  I'll post some pictures when I get home.

We did a good 2 mile + walk around Provo on Thursday.  We checked out a lot of things, including the Provo Temple.  Melanie LOVED the water features.  She was just fastinated!  Then we drove to Levan and visted my great grandma George (yep, you read that right, my Great Grandma, and Melanie's Great Great Grandma George).

No real work out today (unless you count carrying my 21 pound baby girl up and down Uncle Brant's stairs....  sigh).  Today we will be driving home, so I'll be working my bun muscles. LOL.  I'll be sure to post some pictures when I get home (probably tomorrow though, since I'll be doing the clean up after the big trip thing today)

Here's a picture of my buns:

And Brandon enjoying my buns... LOL:
