Our Week in Utah

Trent and I decided to take a trip to Utah a week ago. We thought it was best, being that Calvin's great-grandparents are getting older...94!! We wanted them to have a chance to meet their great grandson. We first flew into St. George and on to Hurricane. Calvin was so good on both flights...I was quite proud! But once the plane touched down in St. George, He just completely soured! We then went on to Kanab to visit both great-grandparents. Now for those of you who have never been to Kanab, It is a small village located on the south border of Utah. When I say village, I mean a very charming village :) Here we visited Grandpa White (who is 94!) and Donna.




Grandpa white was quite charming while telling stories of the past. One story he told was of pitching to Jakie Robinson while in College. From what I understood, they wanted to advance him to the minor leagues but under the condition he would move out east. Seems Grandpa White said no thank you. This man really has some interesting stories!Calvin just spent most the time crawling on the floor and going through my purse and diaper bag (his favorite activity). Once, while in church, I wouldn't let him go though my purse so he scooted up the the pew in front of us and started going through a young lady's purse....so funny! Hey - this purse playing business doesn't mean he's "fruity"....just something kids do.













Next we went to Grandma Mary's house to visit for awhile. Calvin seemed quite intrigued with his great-grandmother.










We then stayed several days in Hurricane to visit with aunts and cousins. Calvin met Aunt Tammy and his cousins Tyler and Andi. He didn't quite know what to think of baby Mason. Calvin is so funny about other babies...He usually seems so terrified of them!








Then on to Salt Lake City we flew to visit Calvin's Uncle Brian, Aunt Holly and their awesome kids Kylie, Sydney, and Tyson. It was at this point I forgot to take anymore pictures :) I think this was due to the fact that we were jet-lagged and zombie-like from lack of sleep. Calvin did NOT sleep well while on vacation! We love and miss our Utah Family. Next time we go, we're going to make a special trip to visit old friends...that I was so sad about not getting to see :(
