Russell's cousin Stacey Jo got married on June 27 in the Logan, UT temple. We headed up north on Wednesday the 26th to make it to the wedding. Yes, we have been out of town every weekend in June! We are the travelers, I guess. July should be a little less busy for us. Anyway, on our way up north, we stopped in Scipio for a potty break and to feed Logan. I did not know that they had a petting zoo near the gas station in Scipio. It was a great distraction and energy release for Emily and Colby. It also gave them something to do while I fed the baby.

The coolest thing was they had a zebra to pet! The kids were also able to feed the animals too.
While at the zoo, Russell, Emily and Colby were able to pet a zebra, goats, llamas, sheep, ponies, a peacock, and more! They had a blast. We are definitely going to remember this little petting zoo when we take future trips up north. Like I said it was a good way to release some energy.
And of course, we had to make our traditional stop at the Krispy Kreme in Orem. The hot light was on so we all got a free doughnut even Logan! The kids loved watching the doughnuts go along the conveyor belt and be cooked and made.
We finally reached Jen and Rick's place in West Jordan. We stayed with them for the night. We were too busy goofing off to go to bed at a decent time! Russell and Tyler kept texting Stacey until after midnight. Russell was telling her it wasn't too late to back out yet and some other crazy warnings like getting married just leads to having kids and it is all down hill from there. Finally Stacey told him to go to bed! We couldn't stop laughing.
The next morning we headed to Logan to see the newlyweds come out of the temple.
Don't Stacey and Bobby look so happy! We wanted to go to the sealing but we didn't know what to do with our kids especially Logan. It was nice to see them come out of the temple though.
It was a warm day, around 100 degrees in Logan! We all hung out in the shade waiting. We could not keep the kids from the water fountain. Aunt Traci is definitely the favorite aunt. She can always get smiles out of all of the little cousins. She was nice enough to hang out with Emily and Colby as they explored the water fountain and wandered around temple grounds.
Because of the summer sun, everyone was wearing sunglasses. We had to get a few pictures of all of the hotties in their shades. I love these boy cousins. They keep things interesting. Uncle Paul and Bobby couldn't be left out either much to the dismay of Charlene and Stacey! I think these two pictures are so fun and tell a great story about the fun people in this family.
After the temple, we all went out to eat and the famous Angie's Diner in Logan. This place has the best food. Someday we will attempt the "kitchen sink" if you know what I mean. After eating we went to the Pepperidge Farm factory for some free samples and big bags of cookies and Goldfish. Too bad we were too late for the Goldfish bags but we did get some yummy cookies. Next we went to the Gossner Factory for milk and ice cream. This places have become traditions for us whenever we visit Logan.
Finally we made our way down to Taylorsville to the wedding reception. First they had a really nice ring ceremony followed by more pictures. We all had a great time at the reception. There was food and some dancing but most of all, we got to see and talk to friends and family we don't see very often. It really was a lot of fun.
As part of the decoration Stacy had this way cute, way awesome lemonade stand where we could get drinks. They served lemonade and a variety of different flavor to add to it. The best was raspberry but Bryson made a equally good concoction of Strawberry and mango lemonade. That was pretty good too!
Unfortunately we had to cut our stay a little short because Colby started running a fever. He was not feeling good at all so we headed home. This was a fun quick trip. Good luck Stacey and Bobby Stamper and Congrats!!
