Areya's trip to Utah 2011

The next morning Areya and my mom flew home to Utah. My parents wants to take the kids for a week each summer (once they are old enough) to spend a little time with them since we live so far away. Since Areya is the only one old enough to go this year she got to go alone. She was super excited to go and spend time with Grandma, Pa pa, Uncle Fat Head & Aunt Shaylee, Uncle Sam & Aunt Dawn and of course her cousins. She also got to spend time with some friends and got to do lots of fun things.

There is a family in my parents ward who have pigs and rabbits which they walk every day. Areya was excited to help and had a fun time, she even came home asking for one of each.

On one of the days they went to the Zoo. This year they had a dinosaur exhibit with dinosaurs placed through out the zoo. Areya had a lot of un seeing the animals, riding the train, and playing on the toys.

She got to milk a cow at the children's museum in Ogden and spend some time with Uncle Sam, Aunt Dawn and her cousins. They also went to the Hill Air Force Base museum and checked out all the air planes.

Areya loves horses and was so excited when she got to ride one while spending some time with Uncle Tj and Aunt Shaylee. She also enjoyed watching fire works with them on the 4th of July!!

The next morning she got on an airplane and flew home all by herself. She was so excited and proud to be able to alone.

Her flight landed 30 minutes early. By the time I got a pass to meet her at the gate and got through security oh and run all the way to the gate she wasn't there. They had taken her down to the ticket counter where I started out. Oh well, every thing worked out and she had an amazing time.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for having her!
