Bright and early on July 5 (at 3:30 AM) we were up after 2 very short hours of sleep and on our way to the airport. We were headed to Utah to visit our family! We were all so excited! It was a very very long day of traveling though and by the time we got there we were exhausted! We got to visit with both sets of grandparents while we went to lunch, afterwhich we headed over to the Andersons for a short visit before continuing on to Duchesne to see the Rasmussens. The day after our arrival we headed up to visit with my cute grandpa! He lives in the middle of nowhere, really. It's so peaceful and beautiful! My aunt and uncle live right next to him and have a cute little farm going on so Skyli got to see a bunch of animal and feed them. She had a blast! To my surprise she wasn't scared at all!
We started out at the lambs. Sky loved them!
She loved feeding them and playing with them. One kept eating the zipper on the side pocket of my shorts. Sky laughed and laughed!
This is my beautiful most awesome mother!
Beside the lambs was a pasture full of cows. Sky decided that she wanted to ride a cow so she tried to lure them to her with crackers. They didn't get too close to her. She decided that the mother cows were too mad to ride and soon the thoughts of riding a cow were forgotten.
Don't look too closely at her hair. I had fixed it a million times that day and finally gave up.
Next we were off to see the goats.
She thought the brown goat was mean because he kept head butting the other goats away and eating all the crackers. She didn't like him much.
After feeding the goats she decided that she wanted to ride one of them. I wouldn't let her in the pen with them ofcourse so she didn't end up riding one. I know, mean mother! ;)
Next was my moms favorite, chickens! haha! My mom is terrified of birds. She stayed as far away from the chickens as possible.
She liked talking to the chickens.
Surprisingly she is not afraid of animals at all. She had a blast looking at these animals. Thank you to my aunt, uncle and grandpa for letting us wander around and look at all of our new friends!
On the walk back to my grandpa's house I saw this flowery bush and decided that it was too pretty to not take a picture in front of. My beautiful mom and my beautiful Skyli!
Here is my cute grandpa! Skyli has red hair and blue eyes like my grandma had, which is who Skyli got her middle name of Leah from. I'm so thankful for my great family!
