Utah, Part I


We had a fabulous time visiting Seth’s parents in Pleasant Grove. We were amazed at the beauty that surrounded us and we were really tempted to pack up and move to UT. But realistically we can’t so we won’t but we were tempted. Utah has so much to do all year: skiing in the winter, hiking, mountain bike riding, tubing, camping and you are surrounded by glorious mountains and fabulous weather (during the summer at least).

We arrived in Utah on a Wednesday evening after a long car drive that included many pit stops due to yours truly. I guess with age the first thing to go is the bladder – I used to be able to hold it for hours!  We took the girls for a bike ride on BYU campus and made our way to the Wilkinson Center to visit the bookstore for some BYU clothing for the girls. We also had a great visit with our friend Chanelle, who is at BYU for the summer.  We ended our campus visit with some ice cream at the Creamery. It was so fun to be on campus and hear Seth talk about some of his experiences – or should I say escapades – while he was at BYU. We saw so many kids attending EFY that Rachel got excited and wants to attend next year.

On Friday we took the kids to Park City and we did the Alpine Slide and Coaster. The Coaster was so much fun! The girls really wanted to do the zip line, too. Now they will have something to look forward to on our next trip to UT. Seth and I loved the car ride to Park City. It was absolutely beautiful and it was fun to talk about building a cabin someday in the mountains of UT. It’s nice to day-dream once in awhile!
