UTAH

oh, utah. the land of my fathers. well father and mother, actually.

we weren't sure if/when we would make it to utah this summer, but when we heard that all 9 kids (on the wright side) were getting together, and all 29 grandkids (or 30?)...we bought our tickets and packed our bags! like, hello! we can't miss that.

you guys, the trip to springville, utah from campinas, brazil is not an easy trek. twennnnttttyyyy three hours from start to finish. luckily the flight there was almost completely empty. we each took a row and slept. dreamy. but with the time change, traveling, lack of sleep etc, henry was a sick little mess the whole time in utah. biggest bummer.

BUT...

highlights included(:
  • the art city days parade (!!!) every year my parents flower shops walks the route with all the kids (and offspring) and hands out carnations. but only to "mom's and grandma's!"
  • chick-fil-a 
  • the mountains
  • picnic in the park
  • chick-fil-a 
  • my parents new property and huge yard. it's tucked away behind their shop/soon-to-be home. we loved just sitting on the lawn and socking the utah summer afternoons up. it was beautiful.
  • family party at micka's house
  • chick-fil-a (yes, we managed to go 3 times in 5 days). the beeest. 

we had such a good time, wright family. we sure wish utah wasn't so far away.

 what is that on my face?! a wrinkle?
 these are my favorite pictures of the trip.^^
until next time, utah. miss you already.

xo
p.s. thanks kaori for some of the pictures!

  1. I can't wait for the days when we live on the same street and our homeschooled children can play all day together.
