Our trip

Hello we just got back from a week long trip to Idaho and Utah. It was great fun and we were able to see many friends and family. On the drive to Idaho we stopped in Lovelock Nevada and saw a playground for Elizabeth to play on while I fed Abby. She had a great time getting out her energy and we stopped there on the way home as well. We stopped in Elko for the night but had dinner in Winemucca and here are some picture of Chris holding both girls while I eat. I was feeding Abby a bottle when he ate. We had to be creative sometimes with our stops in order to provide for the needs of a two month old and an active two year old. We made our destinations in saftey.

Blackfoot Idaho

We went to Blackfoot to visit with Chris's parents Jeri and Glenn Dixon and so they could meet Abby as they were unable to come out for Abigail's blessing. We were also able to celebrate Glen's 75th birthday while we were there. They enjoyed having us there and playing with the girls. Elizabeth loved to follow Grandpa out to the garden and feed the corn to the horses. We just wish we lived closer to them and could see them more often. The second picture is when we went to visit Chris's friend Seth and Jill and their three kids. This is the best we could do to get all five kids in the same picture.

(Added by Chris) The second to last picture is of Elizabeth sitting on the rock where some of us, if not all of us kids, would wait for dad to come home at night and we could ride in the back of his truck.

West Jordan Utah

When we left Idaho we drove to West Jordan to visit with my cousins Nikki and Heather and their cute kids. Our girls are only two months apart in age, Nikki's baby is also named Abigail and called Abbie so that is kind of fun (the last picture is the two Abby's together). Our older kids ages are all within three months together, so we took a picture of them all together as well. That night we were able to stay at my Aunt Dawn's castle of a house even though she was away on vacation herself. We are blessed to have such wonderful family to visit.

Provo Utah

On our way to Vernal we stopped in provo so Chris could visit the grave of his Grandmother Jean Harrison Jensen who passed away on June 16th of this year. It was a tender experience for him as he was unable to attend her funeral. We also really enjoyed the beautiful provo cannyon as the leaves were all reds and yellows on the trees there. This picture does not do it justice.

Vernal Utah

We stopped in Vernal Utah to visit with my Grandma and Grandpa Madsen. We enjoyed spending time with them and they had a great time playing with Abby and Elizabeth. We also visited the dinasaur museum while we were there, Elizabeth thought that the dinasaurs were exciting and enjoyed exploring the hands on activities they had there. It brought back many memories of when I was a kid growing up and visiting them every summer, it was fun.

On the way home.

On the way home from our trip we stopped at a rest stop in Nevda so I could feed Abby and Elizabeth had a great time running on the salt flats. It kind of looks like flat snow. When we were not stopped at rest stops, Elizabeth had to be creative to entertain herself. She kept herself busy for a good ten minutes by having her hands interact with each other. One hand would hide and the other hand would go looking for it or the hands would pull each other and she would make the hands say "let me go" or "oh I found you hand". It was interesting to watch. We also liked to find shapes in the beautiful clouds, the picture is what we thought looked kind of like a dog. She also colored, read books, sang songs, danced in her carseat and watched DVD's. Abby did not like being in the car for so long. Fortunatly for us she slept a lot and when she was not sleeping she would be complaining and crying :( We were all glad to be home and Abby was happy to be out of her car seat.
