Heber with the Nielson Family

The Nielsons are in town! All of Tucker's family was here in Utah and we were ready to party! Drew was so nice to have us up to her grandma's home in Heber so that we could all be together for a few days. It was so much fun! The home was beautiful and had plenty of room for all of us. It was such a dream come true for the kids with an acre to explore, a loft full of toys and pingpong, and they got to be together 24/7. With all of the kids entertained, the adults got to have some fun too! Hanging out on the porch, playing cards, cooking meals together, and going on walks. It was a great week!
The three little girls, Naomi, Isla, and Karoline...aka Naynay, Lala, and Koko. Scrub a dub dub, all three in the tub!
One evening we split up and the guys went shooting while us girls went on the Heber Creeper. There was a special event with a Princess Tea Party and the girls were more than excited. Sweet Sophie was a trooper and came along and Clara seemed happy about that!
Waiting to board...
Note the fact that Karoline is not dressed up-she is just not into princesses! She was not about to dress up, but she still loved meeting the princesses on the train.
Sophie was everyone's favorite buddy!
And here they come...

Hanging out at the house the next day...
Tucker set up a tent right out front one night for him and Roman to sleep in. I don't think Roman has ever been so excited...
Tucker had to work everyday, but Susie was wonderful to watch my kids while I went walking with these lovely ladies. We made it a daily ritual and it was so nice to get out, chat it up, and enjoy the gorgeous scenery all around us.
The porch was definitely a hot spot! Love these crazy kids!
Karoline was having a rough time so we took her on a walk and watched storm clouds break up revealing some of the most breathtaking views I have ever seen!
Sweet Ava, Clara and Grammy:
We had to get a picture-this is my son reading the scriptures, totally on his own. Love him.
We also got to spend some time on the boat! Deer Creek was so close and we had a great afternoon wakeboarding and cruising on the boat...
Again, Tucker wasn't there, but between Susie watching some kids on the beach, and Drew, Tyler, Tiffany, and Tanner on the boat, I had plenty of help!
Thank you Drew!
And I can't forget Austin! He and Sophie were amazing the entire trip-seriously the BEST with my kids!
Tucker got to the house one evening and found a snake right by his car. My kids were way too happy to see a snake.
Goodbye Heber-hopefully we will be back again!
