Staycation - Devil's Kitchen

While in Utah my side of the family had a little "staycation." Although we did a lot of fun things, our accommodations were at my parents' home. This is not the first time we have done this. We even typed a ballot with suggested activities and then voted on favorites. So the weekend was full of fun and yummy food.

The top voted activity was a trip to Nephi and Devil's Kitchen with Gram and Grandpa.

Grandpa, enjoying the view.

I love my grandparents. They are so sweet and are so in love.

This picture doesn't do Devil's Kitchen justice, but it was beautiful.

Competition

Whenever Zach's family gets together there is bound to be competition among the brothers. It doesn't really matter what the activity is, it could be basketball or a game of cards. What do they do if the activity of the day is lacking in competition? Make up their own game of course! With whatever is available. Giant marshmallows? Perfect for chucking at each other.

Zach takes the competition seriously :P

Jerry getting ready to throw... err wait, he is just observing, eating a marshmallow.

And now, hurling the marshmallows as far as possible.

S'mores with aforementioned marshmallows.

Josh, taking his turn

Cute couple

Chocolate and a hotdog, yum.

We're Back

For most of Zach's summer break (which was a month long) we went to Utah. We had family reunions and had a lot of fun (pics to come). But my boys are happy to be home too.


I love them.
