Memorial Weekend

The McLaughlan's had a super fun weekend this past Memorial Holiday. We didn't let the gas prices keep us home - even though it cost us over $160 for gas just to go to Utah! It was worth it! We left Saturday morning to meet the rest of the McLaughlan clan at Grandma Dodie's house than we headed to Timpanogos Caves. It was a 1.5 Hike up and than 1.5 mile back....no one told me it was a basically up a mountain. Boy am I out of shape, I got 3/4 of the way and I was pooped! It was fun though, it's always nice to be with the whole family enjoying the outdoors. After the hike we all went to the new Indiana Jones movie (a little to e.t. for me). And despite being so tired from the hike we stayed up until 2 in the morning playing cards...it was a blast. By the end we were all so tired we were laughing at nothing....well Aaron laughed so hard he cried. The next day the guys went golfing and the girls went shopping and with the kids to the planitarium, I learned a lot there it was cool. And the next day we headed back home. I love weekends away with family! I am just thankful I have such fun in-laws who love spending time together.

Here are some pictures from the hike...
