The trek to Utah

It seems like every vacation we take is to Utah.  Oh, Wait a minute, that's because it is!  I keep promising myself that someday we will take a family vacation that doesn't end up in Utah, but for the time being, when we have limited means and time off, family trumps all.  Especially since either Jared or I have a sibling getting married every year.  We enjoy it (besides getting sick, which we do EVERY single trip) and we were able to spend a week with my family and a week with the Otterstroms.  The highlight of the week with my family was our entire family attending a session at the Logan temple while my baby sister Kelsey went through for her first time in preparation for her mission in Brazil beginning next month.  The highlight of the week with the Otterstroms was participating in Greg and Maren's wedding.  Rather than bore you with details, here is a collection of pictures.

All the Anderson grandkids, in order of age on our hike.  I realize it is a very poor picture but the only one with all the grandkids together.

 Jocelyn at Bear Lake.  Camping was sooo fun and brought back memories of me going to this same reunion when I was growing up!

 Lillian during the kids games at the Bear Lake reunion.

 Our little family with the married couple in my in-laws amazing backyard.

 3 kids waiting outside at the temple.  Have I mentioned that my amazingly talented friend helped me make the girl's dresses since I couldn't find anything for them in the wedding colors?  Yay for good friends who have mad sewing skills and sergers.

All the Otterstrom grandkids in that same amazing backyard.  Excuse Jonas's tears... He had had a long day at the temple, the luncheon, and the reception combined with 2 weeks of limited sleep and some flu thrown in for good measure.
