Utah Trip - Monday

Today was mostly just hanging out at my parents' house. The kids got to play with their cousins, which is all they wanted to do anyway. We did make a trip to the Disney Store where I always spend more money than I should.

Everyone came over for dinner. My dad and sister made some amazing Tri-tip and my dad made Dutch oven potatoes. It was amazingly yummy. We definitely eat better when we visit my parents. David loves the food. (I'm trying to get used to the beard, which is redder and grayer than expected.)

 Beth, Scott, Mom and Tiff (gross)

There were many races
Simon went down the slide at least 1,547,327 times.
This is the first time we've had a family picture in a long time. We were only missing Camden, Riley and Dave.
Goof balls
I couldn't believe that Rowan and Will - with Asher - climbed to the top of the jungle gym.
Forbidden fruit
Riding high

The jungle gym is always a favorite.
Rowan used the force on Erik.
All the excitement was hard on the old folks.
After everyone left, Jonny slept over and the kids watched Avengers End Game in preparation for us going to Spiderman: Far From Home tomorrow.
Despite the fact that I am abused and disrespected by my younger siblings who refuse to acknowledge my position of honor in the family, there's no place I'd rather be than home with my family. I'm so grateful my kids get to spend time with cousins. I wish they got more of it.
