We took a trip up to Utah to visit family and to allow Powell to attend a football camp at BYU. While we were there we celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. We went up to the Tree Room at Sundance to celebrate. We are standing on the bridge there were John proposed 12 years ago.
We all made the trek up to Timpanogas Cave...and we didn't have any fatalities! Then we took a ride over the Alpine Loop.
We took all the kids up to Salt Lake to go tour through Brigham Young's Beehive house and to tour temple square.
We drove through the SLC cemetary and the kids got to take some pictures by the graves of some of the prophets. All of the modern prophets with the exception of Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and Ezra Taft Benson are buried there.
Kids by President David O. McKay's gravesite.
Hannah at Pres. Hinckely's gravesite.
When we went into the Tabernacle and it looked so small after being in the Conference Center. The church really needed the new conference center, but the Tabernacle has a lot of history.
On our first Sunday in Utah we took the two older kids (and their cousins) and went up and watched Music & The Spoken Word. It was pretty neat to see how they put the show on. The choir sounds amazing in real life.
Annual Fireman's breakfast in Springville with Grandpa Norm!
First day of BYU football camp!
Powell and Chance and coach Brandon Doman, quarterback coach at BYU.
Powell and Chance and coach Robert Anae, offensive coordinator at BYU (and John's old offensive line coach at Ricks College).
On the last day of camp they took the kids over to the stadium to play. They had a ball.
Even Cosmo showed up.
Coach Bronco Mendenhal giving the boys a pep talk.

What a GREAT trip! I want to do all those fun things, too! :)
Happy Anniversary! What a fun way to spend it! You have inspired me to take the kids to Utah and show them those fun places too. Miss our second twins, we will definitely have to get them together when we get back!
We just did some of those same fun things. Were we there at the same time? Were you up over the 4th?
Happy Anniversary!
It was good to see you guys. My kids had a blast as usual and were exhausted from all the fun.
