SLC with the Big Kids

We took the big kids to BYU and SLC. It was a great weekend! Ben went to some continuing education classes for a couple days (He loved them!! He came out energized and ready to implement!), I attended the spouse lectures (There is nothing more thrilling than learning. I came home with so many ideas, encouragements, epiphanies, etc. LOVED IT!!), the kids were in the Adventure club and went to Lagoon and Seven Peaks (LOVED IT!!). We went up to SLC the last day and stayed at the Grand America and it is very GRAND!! Wow!! We toured Salt Lake Temple Square and enjoyed this amazing city. It was a quick trip and we all enjoyed our stay!! The little kids stayed with one of our sitters Annette and her new hubby Mark. Thanks you guys for looking after them. They had a blast.

Ben and I went to Sundance for dinner on Friday night. We love going up there! It is so beautiful and peaceful. I love the smell of the canyon. We finally did the scenic lift ride and it was amazing!! We got the kiddos suckers of course.

We took the kids around BYU and did the college "brain washing". We hit the creamery, the Y on the mountain, the bookstore, campus drive, the stadium, our old apartments and dorms, etc. It was just FUN!!! True blue, BYU!! We are still so grateful we got to attend school here. What a blessing!!!!!!!

The Grand America was sooooo fancy. Thank you Tammy for the suggestion. We had a blast! The elevators reminded us a bit like the Tower of Terror at Disney, so we did a little reinacting. We are so glad the Hamblins came over to swim. Happy Birthday Amy Lou!!

There is a very special feeling at Temple Square. We watched the Joseph Smith video and it was so powerful!! I cried of course. I loved talking to the sister missionaries. There are sooooo many of them. It was a beautiful day as well. I wish we had more time to explore. I'm so happy to share these adventures with my kids.
