We had one day between coming home from Tucson (see previous post) and Kara, Dallin and Savannah leaving for Montana to visit family. It was really fun to visit since Krista and Kenna were also there that week. After a few days of fun, Kara traveled home across the country with the two little ones and again only had one day until leaving for our family trip to Disneyland. It was a long day of unpacking, repacking, laundry, cleaning and organizing but by that night she had everything packed in the van for an early departure in the morning. Unfortunately, a half an hour after going to bed she had a kidney stone attack and ended up in the hospital. After an all night stay and an early morning procedure we went home for a little rest and still left for Disneyland only one day delayed. We had a great time. This was over 4th of July weekend. The first two nights we stayed at a hotel right on the beach and spent our time playing in the sand. Jason's sister Megan came with us to help with the kids. This worked our great since Kara was on a lot of pain medication and a little "out of it." On July 5th we went to Disneyland. The kids loved all the rides and meeting the Disney Princesses. The next day we drove home. After we got home Kara underwent a second hospital procedure, but this time we had an entire week before our next trip to Utah where we had our official Bennion family reunion in Salt Lake. The time went too quickly but we savored every second. The first day we visited Temple square and the second day went to Lagoon. We got to meet Tanner's fiance Jenny and are looking forward to another trip to Salt Lake in November. Kara's glad we have a few months to recover before packing again!

WOW What an update!! Way to go! That was so fun to see all your pictures. I about died laughing at your 80's outfits...they were awesome! And what a find for Jason, especially for $1!:) We sure can't wait for November so we can see you all again!
Man, what a trip! Sounds like you've been busy...and our summer feels like it's only just begun (our fun trips start next week).
Sorry about the kidney stone! I'm sad we missed you in SLC--maybe next time!
Its so good to see some pictures of your family!! If I had only known you were in Southern California I would have met up with you at Disneyland!! (My sister has connections) I absoultely loved the 80s outfits. I reminds me a little of our freshman year. What memories! I do have Kelli's email. Drop me a letter at angeliamakay@hotmail.com and I will email it to you. Hope all is going well for you!!!
Holy Cow! I can't believe that you are cursed with the Kidney Stone gene too! I have had one, and I can't believe you sucked it up and went to Disneyland. You are amazing!
Cute pictures, and I LOVED the 80's outfits. It doesn't seem that long ago that we were wearing that stuff for real, and we thought we looked good....HA!
