Our last day in SLC

We had a great week in SLC, we packed in as much fun as we could, and there is still another day to go. This morning, Clayton got up early and headed down to Orem with my sisters and did a 5K. I wish I had sent the camera with him, I would have loved a picture of the three of them together after or before the run, but I'll just chock that up to another mistake without my camera this vacation. Shortly after Clayton left, my sister-in-law Debbie came by to pick me up for a roller blading lesson. We went to Dewey Blueth park in Sandy and I showed Debbie some tricks on how to stop and turn. She did great and didn't even fall once. Afterwards, we went to breakfast and had some great girl time together.


One of the last things on my Utah to do list, was to take Oliver to the mountains for the first time. I had heard some good things about a short, supposedly easy hike right in Sandy. So Michele & Jerone brought their kids along with Grammy, Gramps and the three of us and we headed up to the Rocky Mouth Trail head which is on about 11300 South and Wasatch Dr. The hike is beautiful and the water fall at the top is breathtaking, but it was too technical for the little kids, either a drop or a river to the side so nerve racking for the parents of the little kids, and I thought I lost my camera with all my vacation pictures. Luckily, we all made it down safely and my Dad helped me find my camera under my seat when we returned to the 4Runner. Here are a couple of pictures we got to remember Oliver's first trip to the mountains.


Afterward we all headed to DQ for some ice cream courtesy of Gramps, yummy! Thanks Dad! Then we said our sad goodbyes to the majority of our family and headed our separate ways. I did get to spend a little more time with Michele & Travis that night when I headed to their house after Oliver went to sleep to watch a movie.

This was a FANTASTIC trip! Thanks to all my family who made our vacation so happy! We love you all!
