Utah trip part 2

My great grandmother had 6 sisters, there were 7 girls and just one little boy in that family and the little boy passed away before he was 2 years old.  So for the growing up part that was a house full of girls!  My mom has 3 sisters and no brothers so another house full of girls!  As far as my cousins go there are 7 girls and 4 boys.  So we really have a female dominated family!  :)  Each year, starting with my Grandma Allgood (I think! -it may have started with my great grandma but I am not sure) -the sisters in each family take a sister trip.  Always in the summer for 4 or so days.  So this year while I was home -the girl Allgood cousins took our first ever 'sister' trip.  We went up to Park City -just overnight because we didn't have much time.  We had SO MUCH FUN!!!!  I cannot even tell you.  We shopped and ate and laughed until we just couldn't take it anymore!  We didn't take many pictures -we were having too much fun to stop and take any!- but here are a few.  
Shopping!
 My cute sis-in-law Heather
Crazy runs in the family.  lol 
 My sis in law Heather, my sis Krissie, cousin Camille -you would NEVER guess her age!  She looks what 26? not even close!!!  front row cousin Jessica who is 6 months older than me exactly and we grew up more like sisters, and cousin Makaila -Jessica's sister and master planner of this trip!  THANKS MAK!  We stayed in the presidential suite at this hotel it was FANTASTIC!!!
 We played the game Quelf which is the best girls night game EVER!!!  Not sure what Mak is doing here except maybe getting ready to flip me off -she is the YW President in her ward!  LOL 
 I believe this is Heather reading us the poem that she wrote
we laughed so much! 
And drank diet coke and wore fancy scarves  and yelled out wrong answers like "BOSTON RED SOX!" right Jess?  lol
 this is Krissie who had to stand in the corner and say "Hey buddy, can you spare a dime?" over and over and over and over and over until her turn came around again.
 This is my mom's bridal shower.  She thought we were just going to dinner but we surprised her with a cake and some gifts.  It was great! 
ok back row Aunt ShaRee, Ricks sisters Jenny and Paula, my Aunt Deana, Aunt Colleen, Camille, Makaila, middle row Jessica, Heather, Krissie and me, front and center the bride herself Mom :) 
 the delish cake!
 these pics came a few days later when I was flying home but I didn't want to add them at the end of the wedding post which is up next.  
I left on a Sunday and I love this pic because you can see two churches 1 block apart and the parking lots are packed full. -Only in Utah :)
 My mountains.  How I miss them.

 What heaven looks like.  
Ok everyone!  Next up wedding post!!!  :)
