We had a blast on our vacation in Blanding, UT with Grandma and Grandpa Black. Every day was complete and total PERFECTION--packed with adventures, R & R, tons o' fun, and love galore! On Monday, we all slept in, then Matt went to Monticello to golf while Kaye, Madi, and Grandpa took a fun stroller ride/walk. Grandma Black, the bestest little tour guide there is, gave us an in-depth (yet 1-year old appropriate) tour of the Dinosaur Museum. Madi LOVED those rascally reptiles and has not been the same since! She growls like a mighty T-Rex and brings me book after book featuring her dinosaur friends. Madison also had her first swimming pool adventure and took to the water like a witto fishy.
During our vacation week, Madi took her first 4-wheeler ride, spent lots of time with Grandma and Grandpa (Matt and I were even able to go on a date without our little tumor tagging along), went to the Patio to eat, went on a fun hike up to the Nizhoni Indian Ruins (nearly disastrous--Mom, at 8 months pregnant, had to carry Madi up the hot trail and backpack her down because she was being a CLINGY little Momma's girl), went lake swimming and rafting with the cousins at Dry Wash (Madder Doon loved playing in the mud and had no fear of the freezing lake water), loved meeting her Story cousins (Kellie's family was in the middle of their move to California from D.C. and we were able to rendevouz), loved playing with Grandma Black's toys and rolling on her big, fluffly rug, and overall just had the time of her little life!
We also loved our time in Price on the way back home where we played with Grandma Patsy and Aunt Jenn & Uncle Paul + Cousin Kanyon. We went to the wavepool and had tons of fun, had a cookout at the Colosimo's gorgeous home, and had tons of fun at Grandma's house (Madi slept like a rock and was so peaceful and content. We love our small town roots and enjoyed every second of our fabulous vacation.
