Southern Utah

Other fun things we did:

Visit Grandma Cook in Cedar City. 

This fence has housed Grandpa Cook's collection for years. 

Did you know these old Coke bottles have the town they were made on the bottom?

The next day we went up to Oak Grove in the Pine Valley Mountain foothills to BBQ some hamburgers.

Yep, my kids have theee coolest cousins. 

We swam every day. 

We discovered that going after sun down is the best idea ever. You don't practically die of heat, and you don't have to sunscreen protesting, squirming children.

See Avery's mermaid tail? 

And see Evan trying to stand behind the waterfall?

And see Andrew crouch/walking around the water, keeping his body submerged? 

Jamie and Andy were in Mexico relaxin the whole time we were there, but their kids were in the same 5 mile radius as the rest of us.

So, that's four Sorensen families in Coral Canyon for the weekend.

We all met up in the rented condo one morning.

While there was packing and cleaning and cousin chaos going on all around,

me and Jamie sat at this table and chatted...with our giant man babies on our laps until they warmed up.

Garrett is in a phase of only liking certain shirts, and this particular shirt he does NOT like...

so after 15 minutes of coaxing him out of the closet, this is the best we could get of him.

Then we wanted an adult picture, and Brandon's all, in disgust:

"what are we doing? we are adults"

and then none of the men gave much effort into their smiles.
