This summer we made our way out west to visit family. We were going to make the cross country journey by car, but a couple of weeks before Adi was born Ben found an amazing deal on 6 airline tickets (and Mom and Dad Godbold said they'd let us borrow their van). I was happy about it before the baby was born, but after the baby was born I recognized it as a tender mercy from the Lord. What was I thinking? Five kids on a cross country trip, one of them being a month old baby? Not the most sane thought I've ever had.
Airplane Ride
Ben downloaded some movies to all of our electronic devices to keep the kids happy on our LONG plane ride.
Dayne and Sarah's
We stayed with Dayne and Sarah while we were in Utah. It was one mad house with 4 adults (one being pregnant and the other sleep deprived from a newborn) and 9 kids. And to add insult to injury, we shared our colds with them when we left. We're the best house guests!
Bridal Veils Park in Provo Canyon.

Uncle Steve and Aunt Karen's
At Ben's Uncle Steve and Aunt Karen's. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of family except this one. Stina and Gabby (Ben's cousin's (Kristy) daughter) jumping on the trampoline.
Fishing with Uncle Dayne and cousins
We didn't have any fish from this expedition - Dayne is a catch and release fisherman.
Jesperson Family Reunion - Fairview, UT
Nicky, playing the ukelele, with Dayne as his fan base.
Grandma Godbold getting ready for the singing (Ben was so excited . . . maybe).
Somewhere my sister, Andrea, has a similar of picture of me.
Exploring Southern Utah
We all went to a pizza place in Mt. Pleasant Utah with Dayne and Sarah's family, Jon and Kelley's family, and Keith and Kerri's family. It was a step up from the family reunion fare. =)
We explored some of the pioneer sites in Spring City, Utah. This church was built in the late 1800's by pioneers. I wish those guys were still on the building committee because this is the coolest LDS church I've ever seen!
Grandpa & Grandma Godbold's

Grandkids + Popcorn + Movie = Happy Parents and Grandkids!
BYU Campus
Where Ben and I went to church when we met, in the Eyring Science Center.
We always bash on Utah, but we told Alexis on our little tour of campus that there's no where else we'd rather she go for college. Start studying!
Lehi Pool
This was a definite highlight of the trip. The kids absolutely loved it and it was way cheaper than a water park.
