Saturday in Provo

From Georgia we flew to Utah to visit Jake's family in Provo. Jake flew up from Tucson to meet us there. Friday night Rachel and I drove up to Atlanta to stay in a hotel so we wouldn't have to leave Warner Robins at 3 am to make our flight (which would be midnight Tucson time). Rachel was SOOOOO excited to be in a hotel room that she had a hard time falling asleep. Then we had to get up a little after 5 am to make our flight, so she got only 5 or 6 hours of sleep instead of her usual 10+ hours. She fell asleep right away on the plane, but only slept for less than an hour. She fell asleep again on the way home from the airport, but we had family pictures right away, so she couldn't continue her nap. She fell asleep again almost immediately when we got in the car to go to Walmart and visit my aunt and uncle later in the afternoon. All in all I think she got maybe 7 hours of sleep compared to her usual 12 hours with a nap. Luckily she was still pretty happy for most of the day.

After family pictures we went back to Grandma and Grandpa Campbell's house and had a BBQ. Yum!

Uncle Jesse was the chef and grilled some tasty chow. Rachel pretended to help for a few minutes.

Rachel's favorite thing was playing in the back yard with all the fun aunts and uncles and cool things to play with.

Aunt Cari gave her a ride in this toy box.

Sitting next to Aunt Lisa:

Lenalee is a cutie. She turns 1 in a couple of weeks and it was fun to enjoy her budding personality.

Aunt Heidi and Uncle Andrew are excited to have a baby on the way just a couple of months after our baby is due. It should be fun to have cousins so close in age.

Rachel is getting to be a decent ball player. If the pitcher aims the ball just right.

Rachel and Ylena had fun with the "train tracks" they built out of the waffle blocks.

We ended the day with an early bedtime for Rachel and games for the rest of us. It was a fun day all around.
