We had a wonderful trip to Utah and Idaho.  This was our first vacation as a family of 7.  The drive was long, but we had such a good time that it didn't seem so miserable.  We started in Logan with the Benson's (Buddy and Cheryl).  Joseph connected instantly to Whitney and Max my sweet niece and nephew.  They are two of the nicest teenagers ever.  We stayed up way too late and enjoyed midnight volleyball, a fire and a game of family soccer.  After the Benson's we head down to Grandma Judee's in Spanish Fork.  Grandma spoiled us and we had a wonderful time with her and Aunt Kami's family.  We also made time to go to the Real SL game with the Logan Benson's.  We then headed up to Idaho and stayed one night with the Idaho Benson's (Jeff and DeAun).  The Logan Benson's joined us and we had fun staying together, all 21 of us!  We spent a lovely morning visiting my grandparent's graves and showing the kids around Ririe, the place Grandma B. grew up in.  After that we headed up to BYU Idaho and showed the kids around the campus.  Boy I love that place!  We then headed up to a cabin we rented in Island Park and the Benson's joined us at the Playmill theatre to see the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.  We enjoyed a beautiful day in Yellowstone National Park.  It was the great vacation I have ever had and Joseph enjoyed getting to know all the cousins and family.
