Trip to Utah- Day 1

Hi! It's Jilly. A couple weeks ago we flew all the way from New York to UTAH! It was quite the trip! We left after school on Tuesday and got into Salt Lake late that night. On Wednesday we went shopping, then went on a hike up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was gorgeous!!

Then, we met my Mom and some of my sisters at the nursing home my Grandma lives in. It was good to see her. We haven't seen her in a very long time. Her health has really been deteriorating, so I'm afraid it might be the last time we see her. All my sisters are musical, so I played the piano and we sang songs for her. It was really sweet.

After that, we headed over to a park we used to live by to meet up with some friends of ours. Before we left on our trip I announced on Facebook that we would be at such-and-such park between 6-8 pm that night, and whoever could make it we would love to see them. I'm so happy people were able to come with such short notice!

There was a pond at the park, and the kids kept catching the ducks and ducklings. I bet they were glad to see us go! Ha!

The next day we went to Temple Square, then drove out to Roosevelt to visit my sister-in-law's family, and for the kids' BAPTISMS! I'll be telling you about the rest of our trip in upcoming posts. :)
