On our way to Utah, my kids begged to stop off at Uncle Ray’s house! I obliged, and it was the funnest morning for the kids.
First off — they got to experience life with a real life cowboy.
Scout was galloping his horse, and the other three got a good walk on Uncle Ray’s horses.
Then we spent the mid morning playing in the sprinklers, and chatting. Uncle Ray showed the kids how to change out the horseshoes on the horses, and they each got their own horseshoe as a souvenir. After a quick lunch, and more cowboy shenanigans — I was about to take the kids up to Provo, when Uncle Ray refused to allow me to drive in a dirty car.
So before we left, Uncle Ray, Aunt Val, and the kids all washed and vacuumed the car! Talk about nice! I tried to refuse, but they wouldn’t hear of it, and to be honest — it was REALLY nice to get inside a clean car for the rest of the drive.
I’m glad the kids talked me into it, because Uncle Ray’s is always a good idea.
You can’t imagine how excited I was, when some artist decided to put up the brightest art installation ever!
It is 20 minutes before Vegas, and was the perfect stop on our way to Utah.
Apparently it is named “7 Magic Mountains”…and it created the coolest photo op for us.
Please artist…do another installation.
Anywhere between Dana Point and Provo works, and let’s keep it bright.
We love when we get the call to have a day on the water with the Brockbanks!
So we were obviously in…and more than any other day with the Brockbanks…today was a success!
All four kids got up skiing (some with help!).
Boogie boarding was a new discovery, and it was really fun.
Wake surfing was the normal favorite.
Dash especially loved it.
And the catch all for everyone — including Trilby — was tubing!
The husbands are definitely in their happy places when we are on the water. But so are my kids! We all had a blast!
And a special thanks goes out to this rad (and very handsome) guy!
His patience, hard work, and kindness go unparalleled!
And we all know that behind a rad woman, is a rad wife. Megan and Bryan…you are what the kids like to say #squadgoals! Or in my eyes #husbandandwifegoals!
You two are as rad as they come!
