Our trip to Utah was awesome! We went with Kevin's parents, Dave & Lavon to visit both of their families. The boys were awesome on the plane (Rowan slept). We stayed most of the time with Kevin's mom's sister Gaylia & Bert. Kevin's mom's mom (Grandma Reva) lives with Gaylia, so we were able to spend time with her, too. Kevin's grandma is hard of hearing and can hear male voices better, so it was almost nice when I ended up catching a bad cold and sounded like a boy for most of the trip. Gaylia spoiled us rotten by cooking meal after meal for us and having potluck dinners at her house. Kevin's cousins would bring over delicious food on multiple occasions and it was so neat to be a part of it. It felt like we lived their our whole lives and were a part of their weekly gatherings. Kevin has some of the coolest cousins, and their kids are even cooler. Gaylia has two daughters, Kelly & Sher, and 3 of their sons clog (Payton, Parker, & Avery). We were lucky enough to see them practice clogging and then perform on a stage at a fancy ski resort in Park City Utah while some of their friends' band opened up for another band. If you google "Fubecca" you can find the youtube video where they are dancing to "Are you going to be my girl". Try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lH-GsVO4bs . Seriously, take a look, they couldn't be any cuter. I have much more to blog about our trip to Utah, I just needed to start somewhere. Typing this makes me miss everyone there, and I hope we get to go back, soon...
