Ultimate Utah Adventure - Day 2

I woke up to homemade pancakes courtesy of Jaida.  So super yum and a great way to start the day!!

When I woke up in the morning, I found Jaida was making sure her kids were beautiful.  To get them to sit still while she did their hair, they were allowed to play on the iPad.  All of the kids looked ADORABLE!

Ivy:

Jasper:

Sydney:

and ME!  Jaida did this super cute S braid and then just twisted my hair around her finger and it curled (and stayed that way all day!!)  I've tried multiple times since, and cannot get my hair to curl like she managed!

While Jaida got ready, I watched the kids.  Sydney played with Henry.  He was smiling the first time she did it, but when I recorded a video, I got 0 smiles:

While we waited for Jeff to come home from work with Sushi, I went to the park with Jaida, Ryan and their kids.  The kids played on the play place:

And we walked around a bit (so cute with the hand holding!)

And I got a ton of pics of Jaida and Henry:

When we got home, all of the nieces and nephews cuddled on the couch with me to watch some TV (this was the BEST THING EVER!!)  Sorry, the video isn't great, but I didn't want to get up and ruin cuddles.

Jeff finally got home with a TON of sushi.  There was everything from dragon rolls to eel to raw sushi to vegetable sushi.

Jeff and I were already die-hard sushi fans, but this was Jaida, Ryan and Rachel's first time experiencing the AWESOMENESS that is sushi.  I don't know how I  didn't get a picture of Rachel's first bite of sushi, but here's Jaida and Ryan:

Rachel and Jaida were on the fence, but Ryan really seemed to like it.

The aftermath:

Jaida and Ryan were cleaning up to leave, and had folded up pillow cases.  I saw one an put Henry in.  I thought it was halrious, but everyone else just looked at me confusedly and asked "why is he in a pillow case?"

Jeff and Rachel will probably need to wash that pillow case because this happened shortly there after:

After we drove the Hancock family to the airport and said our sad fairwells  I tricked Jeff, Rachel and Forrest into going to In-N-Out.  It was pretty delish:

After dinner we went to walmart so Forrest could pick out a birthday present with the money Grandpa Brown (poopa) sent him.  He picked Motorcycles and Jeff and Forrest had a blast racing them:

Rachel made us brownies (yum!) and we watched a couple of episodes of Supernatural before I got so sleepy I had to go to bed.

The next day, Jeff dropped me off at the airport and I spent the next 11 hours traveling home (thru 2 time zones) and then doing laundry before falling asleep.  My view from the plane ride:

As a parting gift, Jeff gave me his old Burp (8URP) license plate, which I added to my collection (the other one is my original PA plate before crossing over to the dark side  (OH)).

Over all it was an AMAZING trip.  It was SO good to see my siblings and their families.  I sometimes forget how lucky I am to come from such a great family!
