We left Kansas at 5:00 pm on Thursday evening and drove all through the night. At around 5:30am the next morning, I noticed Don was looking a little tired (he denies it) so I insisted on trading him places. I drove the last leg and we got to Grandma's house in Lehi, UT at 9:00am. And we were exhausted!!
We happened to get into town the weekend of the big Lehi Round-Up Celebration! Parades, rodeos, and festivities were all around. I LOVE my hometown parade. Where else in the world are you going to see homemade floats from every ward in the city?
The day after we arrived at Grandma's house.
I might have said "I don't care if the grass is wet, just smile for the camera"
But I'm not sure.

We went to round two of the parade,
the Saturday morning version is always better!
We love our Green cousins! They aren't really green, it's just their name.

These two princesses are BFF's and used to be in preschool together.
Cute cousins Reese and Bailey.
Owen loved sitting on his grandma's lap, but hated having the sun in his face!
Boy scouts raising the colors proudly.
I love a good hometown parade!
Saturday evening Don took the kids and met his siblings and their kids at the Real Salt Lake soccer game. I got to go to Rodworks. I'm not sure who had more fun!
Sunday afternoon was dinner with the Carter side of our family
(I forgot to get out my camera! Grrr...)

Sunday night was MacArthur Family Dinner
Here's the boys table:
And here's the girls table, + one boy.
He seems pretty comfortable there!
Three generations. Too bad these guys don't look anything alike.
Oh wait, they look exactly alike! What was I thinking?
Our cute little nephew Tyler, who grew since the last time we saw him!
Here he is doing his "Urkel"
Reese and her cousin Ami, who REALLY grew (mostly her hair)
since the last time we saw her!
The kids didn't waste anytime and are on the first of many sleepovers with endless cousins.
It's good to be home.
