Summer Vacation 2011 part 3

Some more pictures from our summer vacation...
One of the grocery stores in Vernal has little carts for kids. Paige loved these and wanted a picture :)


There was a burger place in Vernal called Polar King that had been there for years. They had THE best greasy food EVER! The lady that owned it retired and didn't want to sell her family business. Going to Polar King was a family tradition. When our cousins came to town, that's where we went. Since it closed, we now go to the next best place...Country Grub. Yes, that's really the name.
Nothing says small town like a restaurant named Country Grub. 
The boys have a thing for fake moustaches. Braden bought one and then Heston decided he wanted to wear it...upside down. He wore that thing for hours while we went shopping. :) 

After our time in Vernal, we headed back to the Wasatch front for a few days. We went to a family reunion on my Dad's side just for the day. We had a great time!
The kids and I met up with Karin, Matthew and Isabelle for a few hours. I'm glad we got a chance to meet up! We miss them living in AZ and seeing them :)
We stayed with Paul, Rebecca and the kids for a couple of days. We took the kids bowling and then my sis-in-law took me to Tai Pan Trading (what a cool place!)

I spent a day with my sweet cousin Chassie. She was on bed rest and I was so happy to be able to help her get ready for the arrival of her sweet baby boy. She gave birth the following week to Oliver Henry :) I'm so happy I got to see her!

We also got to spend a day and a half with the Gunderson's. It's always so awesome to see them...I just wish we could see each other more often :( They are such a fun family and I just adore these kids!
Thank you so much to all of you who made the time and effort to see us and let us stay with you!! Family and friends...that's what life is all about :)
We picked Aaron up from the airport and drove down to Zion National Park. We came here as a family when I was 14 but I forgot how beautiful this place is! (Maybe I just didn't appreciate it at the time)


It was an AWESOME summer!!
