So, we went to Utah over Spring break to visit with our three BYU scholars and with my brother and his family who recently moved to Salt Lake City. We had an awesome time visiting with family, good friends, and even new friends. Though much fun was had ... the guys all going to priesthhood session together then out for a "guys" night, celebrating Elisabeth's birthday with pedicures and dinner at the Training Table, attending a live session of General Conference, attending classes with Afton and Chuck, checking out the bio lab, first lunch ever at Cafe Rio (thank you Maryanne!!!), Monday night dinner at Brick Oven (free rootbeer and all), marathon shopping at the Orem mall...oh, and at Deseret Books, more pedicures, designing and buying note cards (LOTS of them), back to Rob's in Salt Lake to watch UNC dominate in the finals (MaryBeth was so excited for the TarHeels that she cried!)... Anyway, the memory that will stand out as one of the best for the kids was climbing up to the 'Y'. For the unknowing, there is a huge letter Y that is on one of the mountains surrounding the Provo valley and can be seen from virtually anywhere on campus. From the moment we arrived, the kids were begging to climb it. "We dont have time today" and "it looks too muddy" and every other excuse we could think of was offered. They were relentless. On our final day there, we gave in. Aaron just had to know "what the 'Y' was made of".
Halloween!!!
