Utah fun!

Here are some pictures from the rest of our trip to Utah. We had a great time visiting family and doing fun things with the cousins.

We went to The Festival of Trees, which was awe-inspiring and overwhelming at the same time.

There was a hand blown glass tree that was amazing!

The kids made Gingerbread houses with Granny Pat.

Torsten and I made a tree together.

We went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point with cousins Koral and Saraya.

It was pretty amazing!

There were lots of interactive things and the kids had a blast.

We went to an old fashioned Ice cream Parlor afterwards for a yummy treat.

We went to the Hogle Zoo with my sister Erin and some of her children.


It was a cold day for them, but we had a great time!

The monkey house was a little stinky!


The kids had fun riding on the Merry-go-round.

My dad had a full knee replacement right before we came down so this is what he looked like for a lot of our visit. He was doing very well by the time we left. Get well soon dad!

We celebrated my brother Ryan's birthday and went bowling with everyone.

The kids had a blast!

Torsten jumped up and down every time he got a chance to bowl.


Haakon and my brothers went on the world tour with Rock Band and had a great time.

I was swooning over the lead singer. Go Haakey!

We got all of the James family grandchildren together for an updated picture. It was quite the fiasco but it turned out nice. My sister Erin is a pretty awesome photographer!

It was a whirl wind trip and we wished we had more time to spend with our family and friends. We look forward to going back down again but always hope for family to come up to visit us too! ;)
