Utah trip 2010

Devin, Allison and Sam piled in the truck with John, Brooklynn and I and we all went to Utah! We had a great time. Here is cute Grandma Gerber and darling Sam at Burger King in Salt Lake City. We went up to tour Temple Square and go to Heritage Park where "This is the Place" Monument is. It is like going to Nauvoo because you get to see how the pioneers lived and made their everyday supplies.

My mom and Nancy at the Heritage Park. All of the homes and buildings are either replicas of the real thing or ARE the real thing and have been moved here for preservation and viewing. It is worth the trip to see!


Sam is obsessed with trains and we got to go on several up at the park.

Sam and I got to go on a mini-train around the pond where we could see all of Salt Lake Valley.




Brooklynn rode the bull and did pretty good. She said it was harder than it looks! Everything (rides, tours...) was FREE at Heritage Park.




The weather was DIVINE! We spent many happy hours on Grandma and Grandpa Gerber's back patio. We also visited Grandma Barry and enjoyed her and her back patio!
Camilla is Grandma's 40-something great grand-daughter!







My Cute Dad!



The 4th of July parade was perfect in the shade with the weather mild and sunny!








A highlight for me was when my dad, mom John and I went to the conference center on Sunday morning and saw the tabernacle choir and orchestra do "Music and the Spoken Word". Talk about goose-bumps and inspiration! It was especially wonderful because of the patriotic theme of the day.






Sweet baby Roo and daddy Rich at the parade. It was so nice having them up in Utah too. They, along with Devin, Allison, Sam and Brooklynn stayed with Jay and Susann. How nice was that of those Barry's! Grandma Barry's house was FULL of Jill and Scott and their family and John and I were at my parents.




I had to snap this picture showing Rich and Devin holding each other's children at the parade. (Note Devin's hat.)












Uncle Bruce always brings funny hats and this one got passed around!










After the Boley reunion of the 4th Connie Ault invited us up to her and her husband, Steve's property in Provo canyon to ride horses. Sam actually dared to sit on one!










Treslee is a natural on horses! Devin also rode and seemed pretty comfortable!




























This is Brooklynn on the mighty bull!
