A Quick Trip to Utah

Doug had his annual bird hunt last week in Emery, UT (kinda near Moab-ish). So we decided we'd ALL go. The boys and I would drop him off and continue on to Salt Lake. It was two days of driving for two days in Utah, but it really was worth it. We got to see the ranch where the hunt is, which is awesome. No wonder Doug gets so excited for this event every year. Beautiful place, great people running it. We got to see my dad, brother Drew and bro-in-law Mark. Briefly but it was really nice. We stayed with Doug's aunt in SLC and got to see my mom (who happened to be in town) and my grandma. We spent a morning at the children's museum, our favorite place to go. We ate at Cafe Rio (our trip wouldn't have been complete without it!). We also got to see our friends the Parks (ZEKE) who moved from CO to Ogden. We spent the entire day with them on Friday. Bode was in heaven. He wants nothing more than to move to Utah. Which i've informed him will never happen. But hey, let the kid dream, eh?

Here are some pics.

Fun times! Would you believe I have never actually been to Cafe Rio??! I think it's going to be on our short list of places to go next time we're in Ut. Glad Bode got to see his best bud!:)
