Salt Lake Adventure

My Aunt Tonya is here from Georgia (Yes I said Georgia, God's Country, or that is what she thinks!! "People in Georgia are so much better then those in Utah" is what I have heard). Tonya is my Aunt but we are more like sisters because we grew up together and are only about 7 years apart. We have a great time together and our kids do to.

We met up at my Aunt Jeanines' Condo and went swimming, is was tons of fun, we even got away with making a little bit of noise. (We had to watch out for the Condo Nazi's and those that dislike children and noise and swimming in the pool.) But other than getting kicked out by those that gave us dirty rotten looks we had a blast.

Austin, Brandon, Nathan, Tonya, Preston, Lexi, Julie, Porter and Garrett
Porter hanging out on the side of the pool. This was very fun for Porter up until he let go he thought he was going to drowned. Thank goodness mommy was watching!!
Garrett had so much fun. He had is trusty life jacket on so there where no Johansen worrying, the Johansen (Phil's mom side of the family) are serious worriers.
It was a little chilly, but lexi had fun hanging on mom.
After a good swim and no longer being able to stay at the Condo with 7 kids (for fear of the Condo Nazi's) we walked/took Tracks down to the Gateway, where water was yet again added to our adventure.
In is picture I love that my kids are looking with their Johansen eyes thinking, "do we dare, is it safe?"

My cuties!!

That wasn't so bad was it?

Garrett finally went for it, and had a blast with the Neilson boys.

Scooping up bubbles was the highlight for Porter and Lexi.



I love this picture because if you look at Austin right in the middle of the picture, he is getting nailed with water right in the face. Good Times!!

Got a little wet?
My kids really know how to pose. Picture perfect.

After The Gateway, we walked through Temple Square.
