Utah part 1

Inspired by Disneyland, the girl gang decided to create their own "Tiki Room"  This was a project they worked on for several weeks.  They sent invitation in advance and planned their performance the same weekend that the grandparents and aunties would be here.  There were decorations, costumes, and a script.  My favorite was the paper birds tied to the ceiling fan.  It was very cute.

 The day after Tiki room, we left on our exodus to the North - 2 minivans, 2 babies, 6 little girls, 2 aunties, 2 moms, 1 grandma.  After 14 hours we made it and crashed on Grandma Woodbury's sundeck.

I love a Utah summer.  It is beautiful and delicious!
 

It was fun to meet up with old friends while visiting Salt Lake.  We also reunioned with family members and just enjoyed being outside.

 We decided to throw a shower for my littlest sister Paisley while we were all together.  She will be married in October!  It was fun to plan and prepare with my sisters and we all had a lovely evening together.

The yellow balls turned out cute, and what a fun idea for the girls to put on a play
