We were very excited to spend nearly two whole weeks visiting in Utah. We flew from Tampa to Salt Lake City. The kids all did very well on the flights (they were entertained a lot by watching movies on iPods).

The first week we spent with the Tanner family. We went to a niece's baptism, to the Linton family reunion, and to a Wessman family dinner. We spent a day at BYU where we enjoyed a reptile show at the Bean Museum, got ice cream at the Creamery, and outfitted the family in BYU t-shirts from the bookstore. Jared met with some professional contacts on campus (hopefully someday soon we'll end up with a job at BYU), while I drove the kids around Provo and showed them where we used to live.
We spent a few hours at Temple Square. It is always such a nice, beautiful place to visit. Anwyn was very interested in all of the displays, Lily mostly just wanted to run around, and Zach slept through a lot of it.
We went camping with the Tanners in Hobble Creek Canyon (near Springville). It was fun to sleep in a tent, relax outdoors and do some stargazing.
Mostly we were just thrilled to be able to spend time with our family. Anwyn had a blast with her cousins. She was so busy playing I hardly saw her. One night she told me "It's hard to go to sleep at a house with a playground." Thanks Becky and Paul for letting us stay with you!
Anwyn has 3 cousins who were born the same year she was, and Lily has 4 cousins born her same year.
