Last Days in Utah

Our 3 1/2 months in Utah finally came to an end. While it was sad to leave, I was ready. I was excited to go home to my OWN place with my own things. Writing this a month later makes it hard to remember everything- so I'll let the pictures do the talking! (all out of order!)

Akoy played a little too hard. Lots of bumps and bruises

Bryson and his siblings

Oh.. .we got a new car! Much better for when the baby comes. We were all packed and ready to go!

Lego Land and Beach

For Akoy's Birthday we headed to Legoland! Legoland is definately different than Disneyland. We were the minority for sure:) We still had lots of fun. Akoy loved it, and that is all that really mattered. Bryson let Lily run through some water so she ended up with wet clothes by the end of the night. It was so fun to see everything made out of legos. I'm pretty sure Akoy thinks we go on a trip every year for his birthday. In reality, the dates just somehow align. 

"mom take a picture!"

We rode this train 4 times! Lily wouldn't get off!

The next day we headed to the beach with Bryson's family. We didn't last that long, but had fun while we were there. Lily wouldn't nap and complicated things a bit. Later that night we met up with Kelley's brother BK. This was the first time meeting him. We went to dinner and celebrated a few birthday's. We had lots of fun on this trip and it was sad to leave.

Too bad she never fell asleep!

Apparently I didn't spray all of his back

Disneyland 2013

Oh boy! This trip was a blast! We ended up coordinating with Bryson's cousins and taking the trip together! We went with Stuarts family. Keith and Stuart are twins. It was fun to spend more time with some of the other Gregory's. 

The drive down to Disneyland was long. We had 5 cars all caravaning. There was one point that all 5 cars stopped for Akoy 3 different times in an hour span. Stupid drink! Akoy wasn't allowed to drink after those stops. After getting to California, we headed to the house we rented. It was easier (and more fun!) to stay in a house when you have 25 people. We had about a 10 min walk to the park. 

As always, Disneyland was a blast! We were only there for 2 days per our usual 3-4 day stay. We crammed everything in that we could. We even all had matching shirts! This trip was extra special for Akoy because he was finally tall enough for some of the bigger rides! He has been eating healthy so he can grow tall enough for the "water fall ride" aka Splash Mountain. He finally made it! He loved riding all the new rides. I wish I could have been with him on more rides but since I am pregnant, I was limited. 

There was a time we split off in our own little family and hit some of the kiddie rides in California Adventure. It was so much fun with the 4 of us. The kids loved all the dumb little rides and wanted to ride them over and over again. 

We always have to have a picture in the chair! 

One of the many potty stops!

We stopped for breakfast in St. George at Kneaders
