Utah Trip - Hope's and Coming Home

During both the drive to and from Ogden we stopped off at my mom's cousin's, Hope's house. It was nice to be able to break up the trip a bit, otherwise that would make for one long trip.

On the drive home we scheduled it so we would have an extra day to hang out in Boise. The first stop was my mom taking the boys to a movie while Scarlett and I got pedicures. It was awesome. I'm not going to lie, a week full of people (my kids esp) 24/7 without any sort of break, even at night because we all went to bed late, was not only exhausting physically on this prego lady but emotionally. It was a much needed break.

Then mom stopped for a while at some quilt shops, she had to get her fix, and finish the night at Hope's daughters house which included a pool. The boys were in heaven.

It took a bit but Max quickly got used to the water and was jumping all over the place.

                     

Sadly on the drive home Levi got sick and threw up not only once but twice. Once in the restraunt where we had breakfast. Luckily there was really no one in our area to gross out and the waitress was very sweet and understanding. Then a second time when he threw up all over Aunt Rose in the car. She was also very understanding of it. I probably would have puked if it was me. 

We finally made it safely home, close to a bathroom and a bucket for Mr. Levi. It took several days to recover but he did and we were then ready for our next summer adventure.

Note. These were actually taken on the drive up but figure I'd add them. For some reason Max decided to invent what he calls 'milk water' which is when you have a cup of milk in one cup and water in the other then drink both at the same time. He loved it and asked for it the rest of the trip. What a silly guy.

This is a restaurant we stopped off at on the way up. The boys colored dragons which Max kept around the whole trip and used it as his map telling us where we needed to go. Again, he's my silly guy.

Lastly Mr. Max to amuse himself in the car kept hiding under his blanket saying it was his pie shop and took many, many pie orders. That is actually why we stopped off at this restaurant, because it served pie. I guess we were all salivating over him talking about it so much.
