Every year my family tries to go on a vacation together. This year it was decided that we should stick around Salt Lake and enjoy some of the things around here. We had so much fun hanging out with our family. Jax and Bennett loved being with their cousins. It was one busy, fun, and tiring week. Here are some pictures...
One night we headed up to the canyon and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.

The crazy DeVries family. Our family is getting so so big.

On one of the days we went to the Salt Lake temple and went and saw the Joseph Smith movie.

I may be biased but I think I had the best looking boys there.
We also made a trip to Lagoon.


At the end of the day my brother and sister-in-law took our kids so that we could go on a few rides. They are so good with my boys. They even got Jax on Puff the Magic Dragon.

Our little family riding the train. Jax and Bennett both loved the train and got so excited to see the animals.

Jax was not so sure about the rides. He would freak out while we waited for the rides to get started, but one it was going he was fine.
One of the days we visited the zoo.

My little ground hog.

This is the cutest thing I have ever seen be hatched out of an egg.
We wanted to get a picture of all the grandkids. My dad now has 12. This was quite the chore, and surprise surprise my kids were usually the ones trying to escape and not cooperating.

We finally got one. Are they all looking? NO of course not! But at least they were all there.

Seriously I am so grateful to be part of such a wonderful family! I love them so so much. I am grateful that my kids are going to grow up with and be close to their aunts and uncles and cousins.
Thanks Jason and Shan for planning such a wonderful vacation! We had so much fun!
