Our Weekend

Our time left in Utah is quickly fading away, so we are trying to fit in as much as we can before we leave. We had a busy but fun weekend up in Northern Utah. Zak has always wanted to go to the Kennecott Copper Mine/Bingham Mine (the largest copper mine in the world), so we finally made it over there on Friday. It really is amazing to see the open pit mine and learn more about all that is done there!

It was quite windy as you can see, but a nice day considering it wasn’t raining for once.It’s crazy to think there used to be a mountain where the pit is nowThis is one of the tires from the mining trucks, they are huge and cost $25,000 each.After the mine we headed up to Tremonton to spend the evening with my cousin Kilee and her husband Cody. We had fun visiting, eating and playing games. Thanks for the fun night guys! This is a beautiful view out their backyard.The next morning we headed up to Bear Lake for the day, the weather was a bit cold and rainy. But we still had fun driving around the whole lake and walking in the water on the Idaho side. Kennedy loved it and didn’t want to just walk in it (she took a seat right after this picture was taken). We made sure to enjoy a yummy Raspberry Shake while we were there too. Cache Valley is so pretty and green right now!

Dad up to his old tricks again. I wonder why she loves her daddy so much? He’s always the fun one. Yes, it freaks me out when he does this, but Kennedy LOVES it, as the picture shows!

We ended the weekend at a family get together in Ogden, I didn’t get any pictures, but we had a fun time with everyone. Kennedy was in heaven crawling around exploring new territory and getting lots of attention after being in the car most of the day.

Tulips

I can’t believe how many different types of tulips there are. Zak found this goose and ducklings and had fun following them around taking pictures. Our friend’s little girl Addie, isn’t she cute!Kennedy wanted to pick all the pretty flowers

These are a bit old, but I still wanted to post the pictures of the beautiful tulips. We sure enjoyed seeing all the pretty flowers.

Lions, Tigers and Bears

We went to the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum on campus a few weeks ago and had fun looking at all the animals, Kennedy liked pointing at all of them and saying ooooo, ooohhh.

The Y

We have lived in Utah County for 4 years and have never hiked the Y, so we decided we better do it before we moved. It was a lot steeper of a climb then we thought, but a very good workout. It was a perfect day today and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. The view of Utah County was beautiful! Kennedy even came along and did great. BYU CampusSuch a cutie! Cool Girl

We made it to the top!

Girls Weekend in Pine Valley

We had a fun girls weekend with my mom’s side of the family, the Vaughans, about a month ago (I’m just slow blogging) and it was a blast!  All the girls 12 and older were there and we had lots of fun playing games, watching movies, doing the sauna, going on walks/runs in beautiful Pine Valley, eating good food, laughing, talking, staying up late and just having fun being together. Thanks for the great time girls! Sadly I didn’t take very many pictures while we were there, but at least we got some group shots.

Time Flies

I can’t believe how fast time flies and how quickly Kennedy has grown and changed. It’s fun seeing more of her little personality these days. These are older pictures, but I just had to post them anyways because I never have and I think they are sure cute.
