All was right in the world, for a few days at least. Bonnie and Scott came to Utah Friday, September 20 and left Wednesday, September 25. We loved having them in town and showing them around Utah. Here is a recap of what we did while they were in town:
Friday, September 20
Their flight came in at 4:00 pm so Ryan picked them up from the airport. They came up to get me from work, and we went to pick up Nolan. We met up with Noah and LaShae for dinner at Sawadee Thai on South Temple. It was like we were never apart for 1 1/2 years. They spent the night up at Noah and LaShae's house.
Saturday, September 21
Ryan, Scott and Noah went up to Park City to go mountain biking. They took Nolan with to drop him off at Collie's house. LaShae's mom, grandma and sister came to pick me up to go to a baby shower in Ogden. The shower was at Roosters in Ogden and it was a fun place. LaShae received a lot of great gifts from everyone. After dropping the gifts off at LaShae's, her mom drove us back and dropped us off at our house. We were going to take my car up to Park City to meet up with the boys for dinner and to show Bonnie Park City. We had dinner at Main Street Pizza & Pasta, and walked along main street. We left there and went to Collie and Zach's house to watch the BYU/Utah game. It was a great game and i'm happy to report the Utes beat the Y! We don't play them for a couple of years due to scheduling, but we have the WIN for a few years!!!
Sunday, September 22
We wanted to take Bonnie and Scott to Music and the Spoken Word at the Tabernacle. I met up with them to attend the performance, Ryan had primary program practice so he took Nolan to nursery. I hadn't been to Music and the Spoken Word before and it was fantastic. I was amazed at how fun that performance is. We walked around temple square a bit and headed back to our house.
We changed our clothes and headed for Capital Reef in southern Utah. We all thought it would be fun to show them the red rocks and a different part of Utah. The drive down was fun and our first stop was on 4th south at Taco Bell for lunch. :) We borrowed LaShae's mom's suburban so we could all fit in the car together. We made it to the motel, had dinner and drove around the park for a bit. It was beautiful! A little chilly, but so pretty!

Monday, September 23
We took our time getting around in the morning. Ate breakfast at the motel and went back to the park. We walked around a bit. There was a lot of rain that came through on Saturday/Sunday so a lot of the trails were wet/covered over due to the runoff. On our way out of the park, we stopped to pick some apples. This was probably my favorite thing we did there. Nolan was free to run around, he saw a deer and chased it around the orchard. The apples were delicious and it was fun picking your own apples. I hadn't done that before. Because our husbands are explorers, we had to make a few detours on the way back home. We stopped at an overlook, and to have dinner in Torrey Utah at El Diablo. It was a yummy place! It was a fun get away!
Tuesday, September 24
Ryan had the day off, but everyone else had to go back to work. Ryan took them to the Great Salt Lake, around downtown via car, up to the Natural History Museum, the Pie Pizza and drove around Sugarhouse. We went to dinner in Bountiful at El Matador. Ryan and Nolan stayed home since Nolan was tired and in a grumpy mood.
Wednesday, September 25
Everyone had to go back to work - they explored downtown on their own. I got off work a little early thanks to the grad school fair. The girls went up to Hatch's Chocolates for some talk time and of course food too. We stopped at the store on our way home to pick up food to make for dinner before Scott and Bonnie took off. We made spaghetti, salad, garlic bread and had cake to celebrate Bonnie's and Ryan's birthday's. We said our goodbye's and just like that we 6 days of fun were over. It was so fun being together again! Can't wait until the next time we are all together....
