Utah or Bust

We made it to Utah safe and sound thank goodness. We are staying with uncle James and aunt Amanda, who have been gracious enough to not only take us in but our cat as well. Our poor cat has been dragged along with us all over the south-western portion of the United States. So far we have been to Salt Lake City. We dragged the kids all over the city. We loved seeing the Bradshaw clan and missed those who weren't here. We went to temple square and to the church museum. Then this morning we went on a hike to see a waterfall. Brynn had a hard time but Lorin and Ethan were troopers. Lorin was in the front of the line most of the time. Ethan, my child who can't walk around wal-mart for 5 minutes without wanting to rest, walked the entire hike and loved every minute of it. I think he discovered something he loves besides video games and transformers. He is a mountain man at heart. Later we went to a park to roast hot dogs. There was a creek that was pretty wide and he walked in it and across it. He fell in a few times and wasn't bothered by it at all. We haven't done much hiking since we moved to Houston but definitely there will be more hiking in our future.

Ethan! That is awesome! He looks like a teenager/little boy combo all the time. Maybe b/c it's so easy to see what he'll look like as a teenager. Hot.
