Utah Trip - Random events and photos

I'm finally wrapping up my posts from our trip to Utah in August. Here is some random pictures of other things we did while we were there.

My sister introduced me to Zupas. It is amazing! So good. If you haven't been there, and you live in Utah, you need to go. They have salads, sandwiches and soup. They have so many different choices. This time I got the cauliflower soup and the pina colada chicken salad. It also comes with a chocolate strawberry. I have been craving the cauliflower soup ever since then.
They also have 3 choices of crystal light. I love crystal light. It basically got me through my pregnancy because I am not a big water drinker, but I knew that I needed to stay hydrated so I drank a lot of crystal light. But I have never been to a restaurant that serves it!
While we were eating it was pouring rain outside. When we came out, there was this beautiful rainbow.
We then stopped at Albertsons. Nothing too exciting, except that because of the rainstorm there was a flood in the store! There was so much rain the ceiling had collapsed all over the dairy section.
As we were checking out the guy in front of us was yelling at the cashier that they needed to close the whole store down before the entire roof collapsed and we all died. He was so upset. Seriously ... if you were that upset, then stop shopping and go home. Nobody was forcing him to continue shopping there. People like that really bug me!
One day I stopped by my niece, Kaylee's house. It was the perfect day to stop by because she had opened her own Barber/beauty shop! 50 cents to get your hair done AND nails painted? What a great deal!! Also, only 1 cent to get perfumed. Who doesn't need perfumed?
The master stylist. Isn't she cute?
One morning I went to breakfast with my mom and dad. I had been to Kneaders a lot for lunch, but never for breakfast. I got their all you can eat french toast. This was definitely all I could eat. It was amazing.
One of the nights we had all the grandkids come over to play in the big blow up pool that my parents had bought. It was actually pretty cold outside but they still had fun.
Kaylee decided to climb up the swing set. My parents never would have let us do this, but I am definitely learning that grandkids get away with a lot more than kids do.
Rachel found a way to stay nice and warm in her princess towel.
After a few attempts, Kadin finally made it to the top.
We then went to Kadin's boy scouts. He was receiving his wolf badge. Way to go Kadin! It was pretty funny because I was watching both Seth and Rachel (10 months and 3 years old), and this lady came up to me and commented on me being 8 months pregnant and having those 2 young ones. I quickly made sure she knew that they were not mine. I guess at a Mormon gathering it wouldn't be that uncommon.
I was able to go spend time with my grandma and grandpa. They are so cute! This ended up being the last time that I saw my grandpa before he passed away, so I am really glad that I had the time to go see them.
One night we went with Andrew's family up to a lodge in Millcreek Canyon for a nice dinner. It was absolutely beautiful up there. The mountains and canyons are definitely one of the things that I miss most about Utah.
The food was amazing. Andrew had some scallop dish, he loved it.
I had pork. The grilled peach was so good!
It was a really fun trip. I was glad that we were able to go out there and spend so much time with everyone before we came back home and got ready for baby to come!
