Things are looking "UP"

In Herriman that is. This year the Parade of homes in Utah had the most amazing house...the "UP" house. I told my kids that the UP house landed right in Aunt Susie's neighborhood. They could not believe it, and honestly after we saw it we were in awe as well. They replicated the house straight from the movie down to the color. How cool is that? They even attached the balloons to the chimney. We spent all day Sunday touring this house (along with others not as cool, but fun!) They did an amazing job copying even the smallest detail. Here are the kids in front of the mailbox....which had Carl and Ellie's name and hand prints on.

The day we went they even had Mr Fredrickson out on the porch!! Chase was happy to get a photo, Sadi wanted no part of it! She was afraid of the snipes under the porch.

They had the photos hanging on the walls just like the ones in the movie.

I love this mural above the fireplace of Paradise falls (if you've seen the movie you will notice even the knick knacks on the mantle are the same).

In the basement they were playing the movie in the theatre room,

it was cool to then see how similar they had made the house to the movie. Check out the real chairs they had...

Although this was by far the coolest house we saw, the girls had fun picking out what they would love to have as their own room in other houses. Sadi of course fell in love with this princess room.Kelsey felt right at home in this teen dream room.

If you are in Herriman I highly recommend seeing the "UP" house before it floats away!!!

This was a way cool thing to visit too. Even though I only went to see the outside. Herriman is lucky to have the up house right here in the neighborhood.
Hey, is that my two girls in your photo's?
