Vacation Part III - Cache Valley

Onto another one of my favorite places on earth...Cache Valley. After the Ratchford's and church with my parents, we headed back up to Logan for Dan's Mom's birthday party and to spend a few days with Abuela and Abuelo. We had a yummy cake, and pinata for the party, and spent time together with all the Garcia/Kanigans in Utah. It was so nice being there with everyone.
We stayed in Cache Valley for a few days. Abuela and Abuelo had to work during the day, Dan and I spent some time driving around Cache Valley to all of our favorite spots, including a beautiful little town called Avon, and of course Dan visited the Jamba Juice at least four times. :)
We got to have breakfast with some good friends and do a quick photo-shoot for my brother, and just enjoyed some one-on-one time with Abuela and Abuelo!

As a birthday present we took Dan's Mom to Chuck-o-rama. She told the kids that since it was her birthday, they could eat whatever they wanted, in whatever order they wanted! It was so funny seeing them load their plates with ice cream and treats and all sorts of random foods. Logan was more than happy to get ice cream for everyone. I think the only one who ate healthy that night was Linc. He found the salad bar with all the vegetables and fruits he could imagine and with that and a glass of mango juice, he was in heaven.

I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking for me. I'm starting out with a bunch of the pictures I took around Cache Valley, and then end with pics of our family times. One more post and I think our entire trip will be covered!

I had to shoot a few of this building. This is the Logan, Utah temple. Dan and I were married here for time and all eternity almost ten years ago. I've always thought it looked like a castle!

Those portraits are breathtaking!! I have always wanted to see the Logan Temple for the same reason.... It looks so midieval, and yet so sacred. Beautiful!!
