Every summer, Jordan's side of the family has a big get-together. All
of the siblings, in-laws, and cousins stay together (which is NUTS and
fun), and we spend most of the time talking, swimming, playing, and
scarfing down milkshakes. It's a grand ol' time!
Every other year,
Amy's in-laws are nice enough to let us stay at their condo at the
Zermatt in Midway. Can I just say how obsessed I am with that place? It
is so insanely beautiful, I feel like I am in a postcard.
We were
pretty nervous about the drive up and back with the little man, but
despite a couple of hitches here and there, he did great! The drives
were not bad at all (it was divine intervention, I'm sure of it). On the
way down, we drove all night. Jordan was a champ and drove most of the
way, while I slept until early morning. We got to Provo Canyon around
6:30 or 7 a.m., and even though I was dead tired, I woke right up
driving through. I can honestly say that it is one of my top three
favorite places in the world. Not only is it sentimental because of all
of the time spent there hiking/driving/floating in the lake back in the
day with my lady friends, but it just makes me feel so happy and homey.
As we drove through, I told Jord I wanted to be buried there... too
morbid? Probably.
We are so glad we got to spend time with all of
our family and that Jonah was able to play with all of his crazy
cousins! ;) He didn't say much about it, but I could tell from the
glimmer in his eyes that he was in heaven!
[These cuties!]
[How can thinking about him growing up be so exciting and heartbreaking at the same time!?]
