Now that I've been home for 168 hours, I'll finally blog my trip and be done with it. Here are a few pictures and a quick summary of some of the highlights of our vacation.
1. After 20+ hours in the Sienna, hoards of junk food and way more "screen time" than the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends, we made it to Utah. The kids were fabulous. Seriously. I'm not saying I want to make that drive again, but it really wasn't too bad.
2. After 3 years in South Africa Grandpa and Grandma are back home. I don't think the 36 of us made too much of scene when we saw them coming down the escalator at the airport. We probably made more of a scene when we all went to Taco Time for dinner on the way home.
3. I love BYU. It's hard to believe that it was (almost) 19 years ago that Erik and I met on this beautiful campus. It's even harder to believe that we could have a daughter there in four year. But we're not thinking about that right now.
4. In case you've ever wondered what it looks like when 19 cousins pile into a decorated trailer for a neighborhood parade... here you go. Amanda designed the sweet shirts for us all to wear. We finished our Independence Day celebrations with an "Iron Chef Egan" competition and an assortment of glow sticks and sparklers.
5. We had a great cookout in Mill Creek Canyon with the Angerbauers. We miss you!!!
6. Not everyone gets to have a Next Food Network Star watching party with one of the contestants at their family reunion. Are we lucky, or what? (Don't forget about the fan favorite poll.)
7. No trip to Salt Lake would be complete without a stop at temple square.
8. Aaron was great to pose for lots of pictures at the grooms dinner on the wedding eve.
9. We wrapped up the trip with Robby and Kelsey's wedding. I think the girls were more excited about dressing up than the boys.
There you have it. If you're dying for more pictures, check out my gallery on Shutterfly. Enjoy!

Such a fun trip- I can hardly believe it really already happened and is over. . . even though it was 2 weeks long! :)
I just have to say- in that pictures of you and Erik with Aaron it looks like he has some funky hair-do becuase of whatever is on the wall behind him. I did a double-take!
Two words... Taco Time?
Okay, Aaron's hair was my comment too! It totally looks like some funky afro-y long hair! Too funny! It was so fun to see you guys! I love your cute family! And cute way to blog 2 weeks!! Ü
Aaron's hair/tree threw me for a big loop! That is hilarious. Super cute pictures. Fun to share the same vacation with you guys this year! I told Luke today that it's time to go see Amanda (the name of the girl who cuts his hair) and he asked if Shawn would be there, too. :) Great pictures!
Hey! I finally can comment now b/c I have a g-mail account. Looks like you all had a great trip! Fun to see all of the pictures on the blog. I also love all of the recipes- I'm on here now to decide what to get at the grocery store this afternoon b/c I'm all out of ideas.
What a fun trip you had. Isn't it amazing what you can pack into a few weeks. The wedding looked beautiful and I loved imagining you all heading into Taco Time! We did something similar on our way back from Bear Lake, stopping at Wendy's.
