What a trip! We just got home from our trip "to the west". We packed in so much fun I don't even know where to start! Our trip began by going to a family reunion for the Horne side at Reid Ranch in Heber Utah. This was our first reunion that we had been able to attend since we have been married. The last one Steve went to was 9 years ago! So it had been awhile since we had seen everyone. It was so great to re-connect with all the cousins and aunts and uncles! The ranch where we stayed was awesome. There was horseback riding, archery, volleyball, soccer, frisbee-golf, swimming, canoeing and you could do any of these things, pretty much whenever you wanted and as much as you wanted. Also, they cooked all of our meals for us! This was quite a treat! We just showed up and a delicious meal was all ready for us! We enjoyed being able to spend so much time with everyone!
The reunion ended the afternoon of July 4th and that night we went to a park in Orem to watch the fireworks with everyone! It was fun!
On Sunday, Steve and I went to Salt Lake and were able to see our good friends Willie & Rachel who just moved to Utah from Cali. We love hanging out with them, so we were excited to be able to see them in Utah while we were there. We had so much fun driving up to Park City and just hanging out and laughing like we always do when we're with them! We love you guys!
Monday morning we drove to St. George to see my Grandma who just moved there from San Francisco. It was so great to be able to see her (we hadn't seen her in a couple years) We ate lunch with her and spent a fun afternoon singing songs with her in her apartment. We hope we can see you again soon Grandma! Love you lots!
Thanks to Steve's parents we drove to Las Vegas Monday night to visit some more friends! (Steve's parents were able to drive us there on their way home to Cali). First stop in Vegas: Spuhler's! We were happy to be able to celebrate Bryan's birthday and enjoyed going to Claimjumper for dinner with them! The next day, we had fun hanging out, and swimming at the pool, and also eating the most delicious lunch of Brazilian food prepared by Katya and her mom! I know Steve loved practicing his Portugese too!
Monday night we were able to spend time with our other good friend Brian. We love our "Slade time" and always seem to spend a lot of time laughing together when we all hang out. It's great! We had so much fun going to In 'N Out (YUM!) and staying up playing cards and talking till 3 am and playing with Cosmo the kitty! We love ya Brian! Come visit us soon!
Well...that's pretty much our trip, in a nut-shell, a big nut-shell!! We had a great time being with family and friends. It's always comforting to go to the west coast, because that's home for us! We loved being able to spend time with people that mean a lot to us! Our time is always too short and there are always so many more people that we want to see and don't get a chance to---so hopefully we will be able to see the ones we missed next time! For now, it's back to Kentucky life! We are happy to be back in our home and to see Roscoe again. Thanks so much to everyone that helped make this such a fun trip! We will remember it for many years to follow!

I miss you! Im so glad you were able to squeeze us in your trip. Seriously I say this every time but I wish you were my next door neighbor. We wish we could hang out with you guys everyday. Glad you had such a great trip, I bet Ros was so excited to see you. He is so cute when he plays in the water.
