Vacation- part 1

For our summer vacation this year we headed to UT. It was the most perfect and action packed 2.5 weeks of our summer! The girls are still talking about their cousins and all of the fun we had. Late nights, cousin sleepovers, cool evenings and being with our family were just some of the highlights!
We all flew out on a Thursday (June 23) afternoon. Upon our arrival in SLC we were greeted with eager grandparents and aunts, snow capped mountains and our favorite dinner- Cafe Rio!

Saturday afternoon was our Dodds family reunion. We went to Cars2 and then enjoyed tin foil dinners in Milcreek Canyon while discussing our book club book for the year. My parents started a family book club a few years ago. They buy us all a copy of the same book, distribute it at the reunion, and we all report thoughts and feelings the following year at the reunion. It's been a neat tradition! We're pretty excited for the book this year!

My girlys were intrigued by the fire and loved the hammock that Uncle Ryan brought. Though I think their favorite thing was throwing rocks in the river! (Note the rock piles.)

P.S. I know the collages can look confusing, but it sure is a time saver for the MANY pictures I have to document this trip.

Look at how big (and cute) William is! I'm glad you had a nice trip to Utah. That book sounds interesting, I'd love to read it. I hope you're all well and happy back in Texas!

Fun pictures! Love the book reading idea. That book sounds amazing; my mom read it and is passing it around to my sisters and me :)
