To Provo We Went

We spent the last few days in Provo, UT, visiting some old friends from our Wymount Days. We had a lot of fun. Overall, the trip went well, if we could just erase the last 45 minutes of it. Our flight back to Denver came in early, and instead of finding a different gate, we sat in the plane, on the tarmac, for 45 minutes. The pilots and flight attendants wouldn't let us leave our seats because "momentarily we will be arriving at the gate."
Needless to say, after we got off the plane, Morgan was overly excited to ride the train in the airport. Our walk from the plane to the Denver Airport train went something like this: Morgan on Daddy's shoulders, singing, quite loudly, but very cute--"I've Been Working On the Rail Road..." I am surprised that she knows all the words. She sang it completely through about 3 or 4 times.

Here are some pictures from our trip.

To start the trip, I dropped my glasses as I was packing.


So, Tyler and Brian helped me "fix" them for the weekend. (Don't worry. I ordered new glasses today and they'll be ready in a week.)
Morgan got to have a sleepover at Untel Tyler's house.Sadie joined the party, too.

Brian surprised me with roses for our anniversary. So sweet!

And, the girls made sure to get into everything that they shouldn't in Alie and Tyler's apartment--including the stereo and DVD player.

We had dinner with Brian's old roomie, Brent, and his wife, Nicole. Here's the view from their front lawn. (Sorry, it's a terrible picture)

Sadie and Hailey practiced their music...

...while the kids played with chalk...

...and the dads pulled out an old tree stump.

We barbecued with a bunch of old Wymount friends,

and the kids played in the yard. (Here's Kathryn and Juliana, or is it Juliana and Kathryn???)We took the kids to the Bean Museum on BYU campus and Morgan LOVED it! For anyone who hasn't taken their kids, it's FREE and very enjoyable.

Brian and the girls tracked down a cougar at the museum. (And, Morgan got a new BYU t-shirt. This one's pink!)

Sadie mastered the art of climbing stairs--up and down.

And, Morgan and Miles blew bubbles at the side of the house. (Funny story--all weekend, Morgan was trying to hold Miles' hand and he didn't want her to. I guess she finally settled on sitting next to him.)

We had a blast! Thanks, Nordstroms for letting us stay at your house! Thanks, Alex and Tyler for letting us borrow your car! Thanks for letting us visit, Guymons--I can't believe we forgot to take pictures! We will always have great memories of Provo...
