Road trip to EFY and to visit G & G Minton

My dad helping Avery ride my bike from when I was little.


When we got to Idaho, I realized that I had forgotten jackets for Avery & Mikaya, so we went to the DI to see what they had. Avery pick out a brown jacket and then Mikaya picked out this lovely cowgirl, farm jacket. It was fitting, and not planned at all, that we went to the dairy right after our trip to Deseret Industries. Later, Mikaya said she picked out that jacket because it reminded her of Jessie from Toy Story!


After we got some delicious ice cream from the dairy, we went to get in the van to go home. My dad accidentally spun some mud up from the wheels on the van. One minute I was buckling Mikaya into her seat belt, and the next minute I was covered from head to toe in mud! I even had some in my teeth and eyelashes. I guess this will do for the mud run this year.



The girls loved learning more about planting from Grandma Minton.

While my mom and Coral went on a fabulous Grandma granddaughter trip, my dad, Mikaya, and I had fun planting their garden, going to the zoo, and hanging out with Grandpa.









Every night my mom read to the girls.


Coral and her second cousin, Amanda, daughter of my cousin Evan.


Coral's great-grandparents (Barbara and Vernon Johansen-my mom's parents) were married here.


My mom and Coral visited a lot of family spots on their Grandma-Granddaughter trip.

Avery celebrated her birthday with a family dinner, and then again on her actual birthday. We'll have a friend birthday party soon for her. We weren't able to fit it in before all the traveling this summer. Curtis got her a new bike and she loves riding it. More on her birthday later!
