Utah and a Visitor

While we were in Moab, I decided it would be silly to be that close to Salt Lake and not make a trip.  Luckily Chase's parents have a motor home so they had some extra room.  Mason thought it was so much fun and he even saw 5 trains!
He was watching his train movie but that didn't last long at all.

We had so much fun seeing family, it just seemed too short.  At my mom's Brinley was reunited with my cousin's baby, Harper.  They are 2 1/2 weeks apart and they had fun touching each other and smiling at each other when they were actually awake at the same time.

Mason had fun playing with Halle too.  This was their hide out where they would go to eat marshmallows!

Brinley found a toy that she loved but she had to put up with Mason because it's his favorite too.

When it was time to fly home, Chase's sister Alicia offered to come with us to help with the crazy kids. It was so nice and much appreciated.  It was a late flight and the kids were tired and ornery.  Alicia had a bag of tricks that kept Mason entertained like this little train track.  Mason loved it and it fit perfectly on the tray but it had to stay there even when he was playing with something else.  Brinley finally fell asleep just as we were preparing to land so they told Mason to put the tray away which sent him into a screaming tantrum and woke her up!  My favorite line of the flight came from a flight attendant who earlier got blood on Brinley's clothes.  Gross!  As I'm about to nurse her, she asked me if I had something for her to suck on because it might help her ears!!  Duh!

Alicia spent a lot of time playing trains and playing outside.


It was so fun to have Alicia here.  She helped so much and kept me company.  We did some shopping and it was so nice to have someone with an opinion there to help me.  Mason doesn't say too much!  We even made it to a movie and finally saw Hunger Games.  Thanks for coming!
