On a peaceful Sunday morning, my side of the family gathered for a little brunch at the International Peace Gardens. We were celebrating my mom’s and my late June birthdays.

Something that I really love and appreciate about my family is that we celebrate our birthdays together whenever we can. I’ve seen other families drop the birthday fun once the kids reach adulthood. Which is totally fine (: But I love being celebrated for existing and I love sharing that with my favorite people!
We took a tour of the international peace gardens, which is a free nature park tucked away in Salt Lake City.

Lots of sites dedicated to different countries:


And wasn’t always factually correct…

This map is very much modern lol.
But was still a lot of fun to explore.




So great to celebrate with you, Mom! Happy birthday!
