Trousdale’s Visit to Utah

After arriving home from Canada, I jumped right back into another week of work, and the week after that Allison came for a visit.  Of course the first thing we had to do was go out for dinner at Cafe Rio!

Erin making Gavin laugh at Cafe Rio

It was really great being able to spend so much time with Allison and the girls…and of course I was super excited to meet my new nephew, Isaac!  He’s such a cutie!     Gavin and Isaac are exactly two weeks shy of a year apart, and it’s hard for me to remember that Gavin was this same age when Allison met Gavin for the first time on our trip to California a year ago.  I forgot how tiny new babies are!

Gavin was a little less impressed with Isaac at first…and was more absorbed in watching what Elaina and Erin were doing.  He eventually did warm up to Isaac though!


We spend one morning up Provo Canyon at Bridal Veil Falls, where we had a picnic for lunch.  It really is so beautiful here, and Jared and I need to start taking advantage of all the things there are to do around Provo while we are still here.  The kids had fun playing in the water at the bottom of the falls, and Elaina and Erin had fun finding sticks for Gavin.





We tried to make sure to get lots of pictures of all four of the grandkids together for my parents, but do you know difficult it is to get a one, three, and five year old to all smile and look at the camera and make sure the two month old is not toppled over or crying?  NOT EASY!  I’m putting in a few of the attempts along with some good pictures so you can understand what an ordeal this really was!





After lunch and a nap for Gavin, we took the kids to this water park near our place.  Isaac wasn’t such a fun of the water, but the the girls loved playing on the water park and Elaina even went down the big slide with me a few times.

We also enjoyed an afternoon on Temple Square

We had such a great time with you and can't wait to see you all again some time!
