Back to Utah (for 27 days)

So we finally got around to driving back to Utah to see our family!  Man oh man do I hate that trip, it's great when we get there, but the whole 13 hours of straight driving kills us a little.  The first 5 days we were there, we had a family reunion in Sun Valley Idaho so we weren't exactly in Utah.  Every year the Utah Bankers Association has a convention and growing up we went about every year, because my dad was always on the committee.  It was the closest thing I had to a vacation spot growing up. We had a blast, there was skeet shooting, ice skating/ice shows, fire works, concerts, swimming, biking, bowling, bingo and just hanging out in the cabins.  It would have been a lot more fun if it didn't rain the last two days we were there. On the bright side, it gave me lot's of time to play with the two new babies.

After we got back from the reunion we went down to SLC, where Les was having surgery.  Things were a little scary, but Les is now doing great.  I'm glad we were able to be there, and Mark was super glad he could be around for his family.

The whole reason we came home, was so Mark could do a two week internship at Logan regional.  So while he worked all day, I played all day.  It was a full house at my parents.  My sister is building a house, so her family is staying with my parents.  There was never a dull minute, always one kid or another to play with. I got to see some friends, and drove down to Salt Lake to see that beautiful, Carissa girl, oh how I love her. I loved being with my family and having a few cool, Utah evenings, those are my favorites.

We were planning on hanging out in Roosevelt between the reunion and Marks' internship but with the sudden surgery that wasn't possible.  We stayed a few days with them after the internship.  In true Bennett fashion we played lots of games and just talked and hung out.  It was a good break, but I think we were both a ready to go home by the end of things.  Be back in December!

These 3 pictures are literally the only ones I took of the trip,

I need to be a lot better.

 At the Sun Valley Lanes.  This place was so old, that we had 

to take score by hand.  Good thing I took bowling at USU!

Love this little man! 

Finally got to City Creek and spent the day 

with this lovely, little gem.
