Life as a Yowler

We are on our way home. We had such a great time in Utah. It’s one of my favorite places. Everywhere you go, you can’t escape from the mountains. It’s beautiful. The kids have made several friends in Utah. Gunnar and Logan are very sweet boys. They get along so well with my kids.  Brielle doesn’t mind hanging with boys at all. She’s very used to it being surrounded by brothers.

Sweet little Gemma is only 6 days older than Isla. It’s so fun to see them interact. They both made a couple face grabs at each other. They also held hands. So so cute!!!

We took the kids to a dinosaur museum a couple days ago. Utah is filled with all sorts of dinosaur attractions. All 3 of my older kids love dinosaurs.

The kids each filled out a work sheet and got a special prize for completing it.

Joah’s Dinosaur he drew.

We had to stop and see Felix the bull at one of the gas stations in Cedar City. We made the same trip two years ago and I drove the kids into Cedar City everyday to the park. We would stop on our way to the park and see Felix. It was a special memory. Joah remembered him well. Brielle was only two and didn’t remember him very well.

On our last night together, the Bybee’s took the whole crew out to eat at a really nice  Thai restaraunt. I had never had authentic Thai before. It was amazing. I ate so much rice. I’ve always loved rice and this was better than any I’ve had before. The Bybee’s ordered family style, so I got to try a little of everything. My favorite was the pineapple rice.

Brielle was trying to keep up with all the boys and show her muscles. She just about passed out, so we had to cut her off.

Before starting the long long trip home, we let the kids play together a final time.

We had such a great time. We really appreciate the Bybee’s hospitality. We ate so much food. Mrs. Bybee cooks all of our meals. She even has the kids help. Our kids were all sad when we left, but excited about all the fun they had. They made lots of fun memories, and even have some proof of it thanks to Dana’s(Gunnar and Logan’s mom) Polaroid camera. She printed off some pictures for them and they have been clutching on to those pictures the whole ride home so far.
