First trip away from us

Dear Oliver,

You've had a really fun month. It started the first week of August, when your cousins visited from Texas and Oregon for a Schultz Family Reunion. You got to see Abby and Avery again, which you were excited about. Your cousins, Connor, Cooper and Chloe stayed with us for a few days. Connor is a little older than you and I think you loved having a cousin your age to play with (although you guys weren't always nice to each other...but got along for the most part). Conner celebrated his 5th birthday while here in AZ at a bounce place called "Pump It Up." You had a blast. You also enjoyed swimming with Abby and Avery at our neighborhood pool, swimming with all of your cousins at Grandma and Grandpa's neighborhood pool, going on golf cart rides with Grandpa and your cousins, and having dinner and roasting marshmallows at Grandma and Grandpa's house with your cousins. We also got family pictures taken. It was a fun week.

We then rented a 35 ft trailer and pulled it behind dad's truck to the Grand Canyon and St. George, UT. We went to the Grand Canyon with Meagan, Abby and Avery and met Britney, Ron, Connor, Cooper and Chloe in St. George to play at a park for a little while before they had to go on (they had a scheduled three-week road trip to keep to). Grandma Utah and Dave met us in St. George. They stayed at a hotel (Dave was there for work) and we stayed at an RV park. You LOVED the trailer, especially pulling the stairs down and sleeping on the couch that turned into a bed. You loved helping dad set up and prep the trailer for leaving. We had fun going to the Children's Museum in St. George (you LOVED it and could've stayed there all day if Joshua didn't need a nap), visiting the temple and swimming at the pool at Grandma and Dave's hotel.

You then went back up to Centerville with Grandma and Dave while Mom, Dad and Josh drove back home to AZ with the trailer. You were with Grandma and Dave from Thursday - Monday. You had such a great time.
