The "Up" House

In Herriman, Bangerter Homes built a replica of the house from
the movie Up. This is one of Kyson's favorite movies and when it opened in the parade of homes, they were offering discounted tickets for kids to go through it. We planned to go, but when Kyson started misbehaving and actually stole something from the store, the Up house was no longer on the agenda. I thought we had missed our
chance to see it, but I was wrong. The Up house is open every weeknight evening for a couple of hours and so we raced over on a Friday night to see the house and take pictures. They did a fantastic job with the house. They recreated everything down to the pictures on the walls and the furniture in the house. Some of it, of course, they had to create the visions in their head, but it's a beautiful house. There is even a hidden room upstairs. At the top of the stairs there is a book case, but if you pull on it, it opens up into a big storage room. Unfortunately, Kyson and Kodi were misbehaving which took a lot of the fun out of it, but I'm still
glad that I was able to see the Up house. I think it was adorable that they even have a section where they have ties Mr. Fredrickson would have warn, and the bottle to save movie for Paradise Falls. And of course, there was the Scout badges from Russell. The creativity that went into creating this house is phenomenal. I know this house cost the builder a lot more than it will appraise for because they were trying to copy all the details from the film. I think they did an amazing job.
