A Utah "Getaway"

Hunter and I took a vacation to Utah in the beginning of June. We stayed for almost two weeks, and we got to see a lot of people, it was wonderful. The flight to Utah was fantastic. It was right around Hunter's morning nap time, so he fell asleep as soon as the plane took off, and slept for half the flight. He was very happy when he woke up and loved to look out the window. Thankfully, it was a very easy first flight with just myself and Hunter. :) My mom and step-dad picked us up at baggage claim to help me with my bags and then we were off to Logan. Hunter slept again through most of the drive, and was very pleasant for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, the next few days he was a bit fussy, I think because he was somewhere new and different. He did calm down and was much happier after a day or two. :) One of Hunter's first visitors was "Aunt" Molly, his Godmother. We didn't plan it this way, but she happened to be in town visiting family before she started her residency in Minneapolis. We were super happy! :)                                                                

                               

Me, Molly, and Hunter.  We didn't even plan that we were all in matching clothes!  :)

 We went to lunch the following day with Molly as well, and Hunter wanted to see what food Molly was eating.

The next few days consisted of my mom, Hunter, and I going out to eat, shopping, and pretty much just hanging out. It was very fun and relaxing. My mother had purchased a little play gym for Hunter to play in while we were there because she knew how much he loved his at home. It was a little smaller than what he was use to, but he still loved it. But somehow, he would kick one of the sides and it would fall over. He never cried, in fact he would get really quiet until we realized it had tipped over, and when we pulled it up, he would give me a great big grin. Silly boy! 

 

At my mother in laws house, she pulled out one of Cody's old toys from when he was a baby for Hunter to play with. He loved it, just like his daddy. :) 

One day we went and ate at Firehouse, one of my Logan favorites, and had lunch with my mom and grandma. Hunter was very well behaved, and really sleepy, so he ended up falling asleep on my shoulder while I ate.

 My cousin got married, Congrats Kendon & Misty, and before we left for the reception, my mom wanted to get some photos of Hunter and I out in the yard...and the hot, hot sun! :)

 

 Then it was off to the reception. It was so great to see everyone, and Hunter was very good with people handing him off so they could hold him. It was starting to cool down outside, and I think Hunter very much enjoyed the coolness of the evening. He was a very happy baby. :)

My dad, Grandpa Z, and Nana were also able to come visit Hunter and I while we were in town.

 Even tho I saw a lot of my family at the wedding, we were lucky enough to see them again a few days later at my mom's house. :) Everyone got more turns snuggling the little dude. Including my cousin Easton and Bryson. 

   

 We had been in Utah for a week, and there were still so many favorite places to eat! :) So one morning we went out to breakfast at Angie's, and it was Hunter's first Angie's experience. He was having lots of fun and really wanted to eat my food... 

 

 We also decided to try a new place that opened a little while ago in Logan, called Kabuki. It is BenniHanna style where they cook in front of you on a big table. It was very entertaining and yummy!

 The day we were leaving for Salt Lake was a warm day, and that morning Hunter was hot and very cuddly. He must have known that we were getting ready to leave his grandma's and grandpa's and aunts and uncles and cousins. 

 

Anna was very sweet, and even let Hunter cuddle and take a nap with her blankie.  

 We left for Salt Lake that afternoon and stayed at Jami's that night so we could get up bright and early for our flight back to Seattle.

 The flight back wasn't as easy the flight coming to Salt Lake, but we made it. We had been delayed an hour, on the plane, so Hunter took his nap before the plane had even taken off. Towards the end he was getting very done with vacation. :) After we landed, we went to baggage claim where Cody was meeting us, and as he walked up to us, a very sleepy Hunter looked up from the carrier, saw his daddy, and gave a very happy, huge grin. Hunter had missed his daddy very much. It was too cute! It was so wonderful to see everyone, and I wished I had been able to see more people, however, we weren't able to squeeze everything in this visit. Hopefully next time!
