Back to reality.

We made it home! And let's just say that I couldn't have survived the flights home without Eric by my side. Things didn't go quite as smoothly as when I flew solo. I'm positive I would have had a major breakdown had Eric not been there to help! But we made it! Phew.



Anyway, our trip to Utah was wonderful! We did a lot in a week and half. Here are some highlights:



1- Sam became one of Ally's swimming students! He loved every minute of it. I was surprised how brave he became in just a couple of days.
2- We were able to go down to St. George! I love it there...even the 100 degree heat in the summer.3- Sam saw JACK!4- The entire Dockter fam was able to get together...well, almost...we missed Eric terribly! He had to be the responsible one and stay home for school. Sam was in heaven though running wild with ALL of his cousins!5- We celebrated Grandpa Ed's 80th birthday! The whole Morgan side of the family came to Utah to enjoy the birthday festivities! My grandpa has led such a great life and it was so great to be able to celebrate that together. We had an extremely busy, but extremely fun day of partying!







We love going 'home!'

What a fun family trip, but I am so glad you are back for a couple weeks before you are off on another adventure!
And you really make St. George look so fun. If we don't end up there and you do, we are going to come visit you, ok?
