Our trip to Utah was awesome. We were there for 6 days!! Usually when we go we are there for around three days, four max. This time, we decided that since we only see the fam in Utah once or twice a year, we were going to make our time count! It was so nice to be able to actually spend time with the family, vs racing around town making sure we get to see everyone, and everyone has relatively equal time. It is hard when the families live 20 minutes away from friends! Anyway, this time we were able to spend quality time with almost everyone. Better yet, Ayden was able to get used to all the new faces and feel comfortable around with the 50+ family members he had been introduced to over the week. Here are a few pix from the week in Utah. Combined, Aly and I shot about 4 gigs worth of pics and there are a lot of good ones, so I decided to post all the fam pics together and all the fun pics separately. Also, when I posted these I was choosing from tiny little thumbnails of pictures that all looked the same, so some of these pics might have eyes closed, or whatnot so... beware!!?!! Enjoy the first few shots, as there are many more to come!
