Utah family fun

As air is getting crisper and Fall is on its way, I realized I'd better post the rest of the pics from our summer fun in Utah.  I wondered if almost a month there would be too long but it still felt packed with fun and perfect. 

We had a fun time exploring Hogle Zoo.  We saw a pretty incredible "birds of prey" show with birds flying right over our shoulders, a front and center view of the seal show, tigers, elephants, giraffes, polar bears ... what more could you ask for? 
I love the unique beauty of Utah.  It is so different than the East - I love both for their own unique qualities.  My parents have a beautiful view looking over Morgan valley - these pics are literally in their back yard.  Grandma and Grandpa took the kids on a picnic in the mountains - across the street.  We loved it!  

Popping popcorn with Grandpa!
Harward family doing their thing.  Gigantic slip'n'slide with uncles and grandpa jumping in the fun.  Ben was pretty  nervous about getting splashed with the water, but he was ok as long as he was on Grandpa's lap!  
My sis owns a face painting business and does such a great job.  The kids got all kinds of works of art while we were there.  If you are Wasatch county based, you should give her a call for your next birthday party!

Ahhh...you can't beat Krispy Kreme donuts.  So much of my "must do's" during our trip were centered around food, and my family was so sweet to oblige us.  Besides Krispy Kreme we had to hit Cafe Rio several times!
And Layton Park.  So many great memories here.  We fed the ducks and hit the playground.  Such a fun place to relax on an afternoon!
