Phillips Family Time at Tutus

As mentioned in previous posts, this year our visit to Tutus was also filled with a lot of cousin time. Tutus had J and Sam at the house helping with projects to earn money for the summer. Tutu celebrated her 70th birthday so some of the kids made a special trip up to be part of that celebration. With Roo, Ryan and Natalee all working for the family business, it makes it easy for them to just work from Inkom and they have the flexibility to stay for the week. It was a much busier summer in that regard then we are used to when we visit Tutus but it made it more fun for the boys with more people to play and explore with.

The siblings decided to go on a short 2.5 mile run. Ricky hasn't run in years but he made it.

They were all trying to cool off and relax after their run.

Logan hooked Blake's bike onto the back of his so he could pull him around. It was fun until Blake tipped over and fell off.

Tutu's actual birthday we went out to her favorite Mexican restaurant.

The cousins all got a geode from Tutu that they had to break open. Each set of siblings took turns hammering open their rocks and then they got to keep.

On our last night in Poky before we started our trek home, we went to dinner with Grandpa Tutu to Elmer's so Daddy could have a German pancake. Girl Tutu had already headed down to SLC to finish up wedding stuff with Natalee.
