The adventure begins!
Amanda and kids and I flew back to SLC from Michigan on the same flight. Dean also flew to SLC, but he was on a different airlines. (I made him extend his Michigan trip, so had to find a cheap flight for him.)
Dex and Miles went to Scout camp the very next morning with Braden, and Nora had science camp at BYU. We really didn't get to spend time with them the first few days.
July 22
This is the day the Alaskans come to Utah!
While we were waiting for time to pass, we went and saw the Days of 47 float preview.
I took Dex to this a few years ago...we tried to recreate that photo.
Those years have been a little harder on me than they have on Dex!
The Lego float was Lucy's favorite!
Rex loves the T-Rex!
Dean found his cousin Jodi manning a float. That was a fun surprise!
Amanda and her kids, and Hanna and her kids were all there. The older kids went a different speed than Rex, Lucy and I did.
We all finally get to meet Mina!
Mina was amazing! Everyone wanted to be right in her space, and she loved it!
The day ended with a sleepover at Grandma's for all the grands except Mina.
We now have everyone in Utah, except Mike, and he arrives late on July 24. (Amanda leaves on July 26, so our window of everyone in the same place at the same time is kind of short!)
