field trips

Sorry, it's me again. Bret still needs to post. So here's more from Utah....

These last two weeks have been busy and have therefore gone by pretty fast. My sister Sarah Jane and her family were in town and when they come, the rest of the family rallies together for a lot of quality time and planned activities. I'm always happy when they come but even more grateful this time for all the distractions from missing a husband. Here's a sampling of our field trips:

Thanksgiving Point Farm

Hogle Zoo

They like stripes

We also had a few BBQs, saw Toy Story 3, hit up the pool a couple times...

...and had our annual trip up to Camp Thompson in Park City.

(this picture was taken upon Bret's request to show my progress -30 weeks!)

It was great having the Bowens in town. Not only will I miss having things to do but I'll miss the companionship of another pregnant person around to go on long walks, get pedicures and complain about various aching body parts with. We're also quite a novelty when the two of us go out together- getting a lot of second looks and, "Are you both pregnant?.. and sisters?" kind of questions. But I think the most interesting encounter was with a guy that came to clean my mom's carpets. I answered the door and shortly after my sister came down the stairs. We were certain he thought it was a house for unmarried pregnant women but he later admitted to suspicions of a "Big Love" kind of situation. Glad we could set him straight.
