Don’t even think of missing Moab…

Or Bryce Canyon! What are ya…nuts?!!

Go fishing!

and donate the fish to someone who actually likes fish…

Teach your baby to crawl on something other than tile (or at least try) …

Eat fresh cherries…

Visit Temple Square in Salt Lake City…

Time it perfectly for the sunset…what luck!!

Enjoy July 24th festivities in Utah (and throw your kid in the parade, if you have a chance!)

Make new freckles…but keep the old…

Go indoor glow-in-the-dark golfing…

Get plenty of playground time…

Get blown away by the Kennecott Mine in the Salt Lake Valley

Enjoy time with grandparents, cousins, and aunts and uncles!

Give some back rides…

Break some rules…

Learn something new…

Celebrate Wedding Anniversaries (60th for the grandparents!), and relish the fact that your kids actually get to meet them!

Go to a Mariner’s Game in Seattle (or better yet, let your husband go to a Mariner’s game without kids!)…

Let your amazing sister take cute photos of your kids while you escape with hubby…

And put another 6,000 miles on your van!!

We took the girls to the Cornbelly’s Corn Maze at Thanksgiving Point this year. It was a lot of fun, and the weather was just right!

I seriously need to build one of these in our backyard. Who’d guess that water, tubes, and floating duckies could keep kids entertained for so long?
Okay–dumb question. Of course they would!

So…put some duckies in the half cut pipe, use the water pump to pump a stream of water in it, and watch it float to the other side. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat again.
