We had tons of fun going to the Children's Museum with my mom-in-law (Grandma Lee Lee) and my sister in law (Ashley) and her cute kids (Makayla, Kaiden and Keagan) Dallin and Parker LOVE to spend time with their only cousins!
The next day we went to Heritage Park. We had a great time learning about the Pioneers, riding the train, petting the animals and even riding horses! 
It was a really neat place...I hadn't been there since I was really little.

We spent the evening up at the cabin. I absolutely LOVE the cabin. We were able to spend some time with G & G Whitaker which was great. We don't get to see them very often. As always, it was fun staying up playing double 12s until everyone becomes a little bit delirious! The kids loved playing in the sandbox, and riding the 3 and 4 wheelers.
Then we were able to visit Nat and Robby and EE. We went over to Swiss days which would have been a little bit more fun had it not been 100 degrees outside. It was still fun to see all of the cute things though! We also ran over to see Nat's classroom and meet her 4th graders. They absolutely LOVED meeting Mrs. Bleazard's nephews. All of the girls wanted to hold Parker (which was funny because he only weighed about 10 pounds less then they did!) Dallin just plopped into a seat a pretty much joined the class! I read part of a book to the class but as soon as Landon woke up everyone just ran over to see the baby. It was fun to see her in action. She's a great teacher! You can see Dallin in the very center of the class. He was loving the attention!
I was able to see Marcy (one of my best friends from the college days) and meet her new boyfriend (John). He was a really nice guy. They were SO incredibly cute together.I give that guy a BIG thumbs up Marce! We enjoyed going out for a little Leatherbys. Mmmm! My favorite!
Saturday we met up with Ashley (my best friend since birth), Lindsay and Jenna, Nat, EE, Yvonne, Jody and little Sophie. Then we headed over to IKEA! I was bracing for the worst but the crowds really weren't too bad. I got some cute things for the house. It is easy to get carried away in that place! 
And those are just SOME of the highlights! We had so much fun seeing everyone this week!. Its always fun to get away but its also great to come home!

That picture of I think Parker and his cousin is about the cutest thing I've seen! Adorable boys!
looks life the trip went smooth. landon looks so big in that picture (and more like parker!!!)!
Your boys are so handsome. It's always fun to go to Utah. Someday I think we may have a vacation somewhere besides there. I am totally going to IKEA while I am in Utah next week. Have you ever gone to Tai Pan? You can get carried away there as well.
No...I have never been there....I have heard of it though. I will have to check that out next time for sure! I know how you feel about vacations to Utah. Now that Nate's parents moved there it's where all of the family lives so we go there a lot!
I am so jealous that you got to see Marcy and her boyfriend! I want details about that guy!
It was so much fun!! I am glad you were able to come down. I guess it is our turn to drive up next:)
Come up anytime!!!! We love to play with you guys!!
It was so great to see you and your adorable boys! You are such an amazing mom, I was impressed by how calm and collected you were at IKEA, of all places...it's so insanely busy. It was a lot of fun! We need to come up and see your house someday.
Your trip looked like lots of fun! My kids have been to the new children's museum, but I have yet to see it. I need to stop by the next time I am there.
We have an IKEA here about 20 minutes away, but I haven't been there yet, I've never stepped foot into any IKEA, I guess I'll brace myself first.
Like Kristina said, Tai Pan Trading is also very fun. I went there with my mom in July, there is so much to see and buy it is overwhelming. Another couple of places worth visiting if you are in Utah County...Interior Elements and The Gatehouse, both are in Orem. The Gatehouse has amazing holiday stuff, it's packed year round and so it's hard to imagine that they could fit anything else into the store, but boy, they do! You can hardly walk around in there... there is sooooo much.
Love, Amy
Looks like I have all sorts of new places to visit next time I go down there! Thanks for the ideas Amy!
