Christmas in April

Well, we were finally able to make it to Salt Lake City to visit our family for Christmas! Too bad it took us until April to make it out there! Maybe we will be better next time. =) It was nice to see everyone for Easter, however (yay, we got that one on-time!) hehe

We went out on Friday night..or should I say Saturday Morning. The weather was terrible here in Atlanta, so we didn't actually leave the airport until 3:30 in the morning on Saturday. We got to Salt Lake at about 5:30 AM--enough time to check into our hotel and take a little rest before attending Austin's Uncle's funeral. His Uncle Eddie passed away last week. It was really sad--he was a good man from what I knew of him.

All-in-all, under the circumstances, it was a good visit. It was good to see Austin's nephews Alex and Zac. Alex is as busy as ever playing a lot. We got him a t-shirt from the New Orleans Fire Department and he put it on almost the moment we gave it to him! Zac is growing bigger and bigger and is as cute as ever! He is pulling up on furniture a bit--he even stood for a bit while not holding onto anything! He will be walking in no time!




Everyone had to go to work on Monday so Austin and I went on an adventure around Salt Lake. We got to do some touristy stuff that Austin had never even done before. We went to Antelope Island and saw buffalo and an old ranch and then went to the Bingham Copper Mines. We also went on a drive after and it seriously felt like we were the only ones left on the planet! Not like it is here in the south--with people everywhere you turn. It was nice.

I have posted pictures from our trip on our Picasa page--You can see them all by clicking here. I hope you enjoy them!
