2015 Summer Utah Trip

Dallin and Kenzie reflect on our recent trip to Utah.  Dallin says:
Last week was great. We went to Utah. On Thursday morning at 6:00, we woke up early. I did not want to go to Utah. We had electronics, games, and snacks in the car ride. It felt like it took 1,000,000 hours just to get to Utah! When we were there, we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house. But they were not there because they were on a trip to Ireland. We slept at their house but before that we met at the park with the Foutz's.  We had pizza.  Only Nicholas, Andrew, Will, Emma, and us were there.  We played the ground is lava and cops and robbers.  Next we chased Nicholas all around the play ground.  Finally we went back to Grandma's house and went to sleep...

 On Friday at Utah, we went to Lagoon (it is sort of like Disneyland).  It was really fun.  All of the Pratt side was there except Tanner.  The first ride we did was a roller coaster.  Kenzie screamed her head off!!!  Then we ate lunch.  Next we went to the haunted house ride.  I closed my eyes the whole time.  Then we did a few more rides like the Tilt-a-Whirl, the bumper cars, the ferris wheel, and the Bat (it's a roller coaster).  My favorite one was the Wild Mouse.  It had really sharp turns.  We also rode the Jumping Dragon.  The little cousins went to Kiddie Land. I did not like it. After that we had ice cream. After that we went to a hotel. Finally the Lewis' took me to dinner...


Kenzie says:

On Saturday, after breckfest, Camy, Gavin, Dallin, Jake, Millie, Geny, Lulu, Zack, Jayla, Me, Ant Elen, Uncul Jasen, Ant Martha, Uncul Stev, Ant Emely and Uncul Dan, my mom, my dad, G-ma and G-pa, and Sadie all went to the pool, but Uncul Dan, Uncul Stev did not go swiming.  We had lots of fun in the pool but the only thing I did not like about it was that it was vary deap. So I spent most of the time in the hot tub (wich was aculy vary hot).  When you first get in the hot tub it is burning but when you are in it for a littil bit it is not as hot.  After swiming we went to a restront called Cafe Rio.  It was vary busy, so it tolk forever to get our food.  After lunch we went to the mall.  We played hid and seek at the playplace.  Then, we went to my great grandma and grandpa's birthday party.































I have learned something new about each of my children on our latest road trip to Utah.

Dallin does not function well on 6 hours of sleep. He becomes grumpy and very emotional.
Kenzie does NOT like roller coasters even though her mom is super excited and loves them and forced her to ride one. Her mom felt really bad about it and eventually apologized to her.
Alayna cannot sleep in the same bed as Geneil. Alayna does not like waiting for anything. Alayna does not like rides that go too fast or too high. Alayna will let out a really loud random cry in the middle of the night that wakes everyone up except for herself, she falls back asleep instantly.
Geneil gets constipated when we travel. Geneil will follow and do anything her cousin Millie does.
Sadie doesn't like to be in her car seat for longer than a few hours. Sadie does not like Grandma Linda's house. Sadie will only tolerate extended family for so long, then she REALLY just wants mama.

Dallin loves roller coasters especially The Bat and The Wild Mouse. Dallin could play video games ALL DAY LONG (ok, I already knew that one). Dallin is taller than his cousins Jake and Zach.
Kenzie loves to go swimming. Kenzie could eat waffles for breakfast every morning. Kenzie loves playing with her cousin Cami.
Alayna loves her cousin Jayla. Alayna loves to swim as long as she has her orange tubey.
Geneil loves her cousin Millie. Geneil loves to jump on hotel beds.
Sadie loves her mama the best. Sadie is a really good trooper about hanging out in her stroller in 100+ degree weather.
