We just got back from Utah after a three week vacay! Holy smokes, am I tired. DB even asked me last night as we were getting into our own beds if we could just stay home today. I told him we would probably have to go grocery shopping, and he adamantly refused to come with me. I think we wore him out. JT has been a happy little camper this morning just wandering around, exploring all of his "new" surroundings, and Ben is just happy to have us home. (Ben was only able to stay with us on vacation for 1 of the 3 weeks.)
It rained the whole time we were in Utah, except for perhaps one day, and we were gone from TN long enough that the weather here has SIGNIFICANTLY changed. We are under a heat warning today because of high temps AND high humidity. Good times......long summer ahead of us, I think.
We were able to do so much and see pretty much all of our family except for my brother, Joshie.
We are so grateful to have such wonderful family that takes us in and really shows us a good time. From Becca's wedding weekend, planting flowers, movies with Grandma and Grandpa, miniature golfing, fishing, hiking, camping (in the rain....a double adventure.....) lots of Wii playing, swimming in the backyard, wrestling, feeding the fish at Cabella's, a couple visits to the hospital to visit MaryAnn, lots of hanging out, and shopping there was hardly a dull moment.
I am already planning our next family outing, hopefully to South Carolina to see the beach, but will be happy with a week or so of recovery at home.

Yay! I am glad you made it home and you have time to rest! Since you didn't blog about it, I am assuming the flight went well juggling two kids and all the luggage!? Welcome home and welcome to the heat and humidity! I am there with ya! :)
It was so fun to see you guys! We already miss you :(
I'm glad you made it home in one piece...sorry you missed me a couple of times, after all I do have a schedule to keep! :)
Awww...did you come down to SG?! I was there for over a week! (I wasn't supposed to be) I kinda got stuck there and couldn't get a flight back out here to Kentucky. I am so excited for you guys! Girls are so much fun! I'm sure you know about my two boys by now. I feel the same way you do...I have no idea what to do with a boy! LOL. Technically I'm due November 9th, but with twins, who knows. Glad your vacation went good. Did you fly? If so, how was that? Cause I have to say...I have just discovered that I hate flying (with a kid and being pregnant anyway)! It was pretty horrible.
Seriously? You like the humidity? LOL...that's so funny. I dunno, I'm kinda torn cause it's way nicer on my normally dry skin, however I have the hardest time doing my hair here! It's ridiculous! I think I'm just not fond of the heat...period.

I plan on taking our Settlers game to play at night... sounds tempting to you now doesnt it? So- I think you should keep your title of four shoffs plus one.. its cute.... Let me know if you can meet up with us.
I'm glad you guys are home safe and sound. It's ALWAYS nice to get back into the routine.
Sounds like you had a great trip, except for Mary Ann's scare! Gosh, we felt so helpless being out here. I'm so glad she was surrounded by so many family members!
Take care of yourself and I hope you find some relief from the heat.
