Visiting Family in Utah

Our families decided that they just couldn't wait to meet Eva, so they pitched in and got plane tickets for us to come and visit for two weeks and introduce the new little Hazard. They have not been dissapointed. Eva (AKA: Turtle-head, Bug, or Smiles) has been a joy to all as she giggles her way into their hearts.

Here's Evelyn with the very-proud Aunt Shannon.

And here she is with Grandma Hill. Evelyn is the 94th member of the family for Grandma. She has 29 grand-children and 33 great-grand-children!

We went to a Utah Blaze arena football game where Marrissa performed a dance at the beginning. It was my first experience with arena football. It was...interesting. As you can see in this picture and video, Evelyn was quite the distraction.

We got to do some fun things for us too. Here's Rachel and me climbing at Ed and Terry wall in Rock Canyon. This was our favorite place to go when we were at school here, and it was fun to get up on the rock again.

Shannon works at 1-800-CONTACTS in Draper. We went to her work for lunch one day and then had fun playing in the gym there. Wendy showed off her hidden ability to play ping-pong as she systematically beat everyone else that was there.

One of the days we went to the park and had a picnic and then played tennis afterwords. It was so fun that we returned to the tennis courts the following day for more. Other fun things we did include archery at the range, kung-fu lessons from Brandon, visiting friends and neighbors, and eating lots of really good food. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me for these things. So sad.

We will be here in Utah with Rachel's family for a couple more days, and then we will be off to Rexburg to hang out with my family. We have been having fun and we are excited to continue our vacation.
