Utah Trip

We took a trip to Salt Lake before school started again. We have so many people we love in Utah, family and friends, it's always a busy trip! 

Grandpa and Grandma Payne took some time out of work to meet us downtown for breakfast!  The girls loved the City Creek fountains.  I love Kneaders.  We seriously need that in Colorado! 

Grandpa also got us into the Church office building, where he works, so the girls could see the view from the roof!  That was awesome!  

 

Temple Square was so beautiful and full of flowers.  I know it looks refreshing and cool in this picture, but it was 100 degrees outside and might toasty!  We found our way inside the Church History Museum where they have an awesome children's exhibit. A Mormon Children's museum, complete with play kitchen to "feed the missionaries." Dress up clothes to learn dances from ancient cultures, blocks to build towers and Nephite cities, and much more.  They had a great time in there.

We were timing our trip to make it to the extended Payne Family Reunion. We don't often get to see all of Gavin's aunts/uncles and cousins, so that was a fun time.  Here we are introducing Maggie to Great Grandma Payne and Gavin's Aunt Liesl.

We were also lucky to spend time with our good friends the Apezteguia's, who joined us at Leatherby's, as well as the Allreds and the Todds! If you had to move away, we're glad you went somewhere we can come and visit often!
