Trip-March 20th-23rd

On March 20th, we traveled down to Fayette, UT and stayed with Great-Grandma & Grandpa Harrop. It was the first time we had be there in a little over a year. That was also Jaxton's first time seeing Grandma Ann and Grandpa Rich. The kids had a blast throwing a toy back-and-forth between Grandpa and watching his dog, Champ, chase it from person to person until he got tired. Everyone was laughing. Grandma couldn't believe how well my kids could throw. Soon it was time for bed.

The next day, we got ready to go to Highland, UT for Lacey and Dan's party. Dan's mother and sisters threw Lacey a baby shower, Dan a graduation party, and them both moving to Boston (won't see them in awhile) party, all rolled into one big celebration. There were lots of family and friends there to support Lacey and Dan. It was good to see them as well as many other family members that we haven't seen in a long time. The kids had fun playing outside. We also learned that Makayla is allergic to horses. She came in from playing to show me that her eyes were nearly swollen shut. We took care of her with medicine and a cool cloth and she was back out to play about an hour later (but not around the horse).
That night we stayed in a hotel in Springville, Ut so we could be close to visit Adam's parents.

Sunday morning we got up and went to Adam's parents' Stake Conference where we had the priviledge of listening to several good speakers. The highlight of the conference was Elder Jeffery R. Holland. After, conference we went to Grandma Jane and Grandpa Doug's and had a nice lunch. After visiting for a few hours we went back to the hotel where we though there was an indoor swingpool so the kids were all hyped-up to swim and even Aunt Mariah came to swim, but sadly they only had an outdoor pool so we couldn't swim. G & G MacPherson came to get Mariah and they visited with us for awhile until bedtime.

Monday, we packed-up and went and picked-up Great-Grandma MacPherson and took her out to eat. We had a nice visit with her and even stopped by the Mt. Timpanogas Temple for a quick, but cold photo opp. We also went by Uncle Curt and Aunt Wanda's to see them for a few minutes before heading home. The kids had a snowball fight with Uncle Curt as it snowed large flakes. After dropping Grandma off back at home we headed back to Spanish Fork and stopped one last time to see G & G MacPherson before heading home in the snow storm. We all had a fun trip and were so happy to see so many family members in such a short time. We love and miss you all!
