It's always a whirlwind of events, going to Utah.
We chose this particular week so that Cody could go to a sports camp at BYU.
It was a lot of driving back and forth to Provo but totally worth it.
The first night we stayed at a friend's house near Provo to avoid the hour drive past and then back. It was so good to catch up with her and see her cute kids!
One mom I talked to at BYU, surprisingly not related to the sports camps, told me she had heard the best way to get your kids to go to BYU is to send them to sports camps.
So, the subtle brainwashing has begun:)
This was an All Sports Camp, so he played soccer, baseball, basketball and football.
Meanwhile the girls and I got a chance to check out campus.
We watched a doe and her two babies right outside the Richards Building.
Inside is where I worked at YBeFit. I got my body fat tested just for old times sake:)
I also worked in the Ancient Scripture department in the religion building, another favorite job.
There are so many new buildings I had never seen. The Joseph F. Smith building is beautiful and gives a history of the school and of the church.
I'm not going to lie, I love this school. Where else would a science teacher bear their testimony and end with a prayer in class?
And where else would you see quirky signs advertising for apartment rentals like this:
Provo is weird I tell you. I love it.
Other Provo highlights included grandma and grandpa meeting us down there for a little while.
We caravanned over to Waffle Love to try out their waffles.
They are so good, but I would say they are more dessert, not so much lunch.
But hey, I would eat one right now just for a snack. Yum.
I would also highly recommend Swig.
Their sugar cookies are addicting. This was my first time trying a dirty coke. I could become addicted to those too!
After that we went to the Bean Museum.
It has just recently been remodeled and was pretty impressive!
It is a huge taxidermy collection and also has many of Elder Boyd K. Packer's carvings.
Coming "home" to my parent's house was exciting because I got to see their new sun room. I love the view of the mountains they have and love the new room!
Tuesday night I went with my parents to a Bill Cosby show at the Layton outdoor theater.
Wednesday we went to the Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point.
We were also lucky enough to go to the Ogden temple rededication. It has been completely remodeled.
Read more about temples here.
Root Beer Floats after for Papa Jeff's birthday!
Saturday we went to Cherry Hill
The girls Macey, Blake and Lucy went down Cardiac Canyon by themselves. So cute to see those three tiny girls standing in line all by themselves:)
Cute Clara and Callie. (Mackayla generally refuses to be in pictures.)
One of Macey's favorite parts was the human maze
Finally, on our way back to California we stopped to see my brother Eric and went to the land of all you can eat to obesity, Golden Corral. The kids really do love it.
My parents made the drive back with us so we could spend more quality time with them!
They now know what we mean by "Vegas Traffic" coming home. It's terrible!
I finally got a picture of one of these funky trees I love seeing on the drive. They look like Dr. Seuss trees.
