First leg-Part D: 4th of July! We woke up early and saw the hot air balloons take off. Then we went to the Provo parade.





Gavin slept through the whole thing...but at least he was dressed for the occasion :)

First leg-Part E: Too much fun! The rest of the week was spent hanging out with Hayden. We went to the park, fed the ducks, went "waterfall hunting," dinosaur museum, and the Hogle Zoo!

We are lucky JoLynn made it out alive :)

"All aboard!"

Second leg-Part A: Vallejo, California. Mike, Maryn, Gavin and I drove from Utah to northern Cali (15 hours). Believe it or not we had a great drive and Gavin was so good! Maryn and I danced with POWERHOUSE for 5 days. Mike and Gavin watched every single show. Thanks Mike for all your help!
We put blankets over Gavin's ears because the music was really loud.

Maryn, Dylan, Jenni and Brian


My aunt Denise was able to come see one of our shows. It was so good to see her. Gavin was trying to figure out who was holding him :)


Dad and Mr G hangin our in our trailer

POWERHOUSE...I'm not sure why I'm wearing a yellow shirt and everyone else is in blue? I guess I just wanted to be the "star" of the show :)
Second leg-Part B: San Fransisco! After we got done dancing we enjoyed driving into the city (about 20 miles away.) It was so cold! Mike loved making his souvenir pennies :)

Me and Maryn at Fisherman's Wharf- Pier 39

Kiss!

Third leg-Part A: Anaheim, California. After we were done dancing we dropped Maryn off at the San Fransico airport and she flew home. Mike, Gavin and I then drove down to Anaheim to visit his family and show Gavin off :)

Uncle Richard, Aunt Michele and Gavin


Grandma Rich and Little G.
Third leg-Part B: Huntington Beach. One day we drove to the beach and walked around. It was beautiful. Mike was so happy to be back by the ocean! He showed me around and told me lots of stories from when he grew up. We had a great time :)


Gavin and I sleeping on the couch. It was a very long trip, but so much fun! We were ready to be back home.
