Road Trip

Right after the track meet, we set out for a road trip to Utah to attend Andrew (Dusty's brother) and Virginia's Wedding. Dusty and I had not been on a long road trip since I graduated from BYU. I originally thought it would be fun. It may have been had we not started at 7:00pm. After a long day of packing and dropping off Bella for me, and work for Dusty, then a track meet for us, we started driving after a long day. Dusty began and I took over around 10:00 so Dusty could sleep. I was only able to drive about hour, and we both had to stop and sleep for a while. We struggled a bit though the night, switching a few times, but we arrived in beautiful Utah around noon.

Still fun...

Enjoying the view (before we got tired)

We stayed at a WorldMark resort in Midway, UT. It was a little far from Provo/Draper where the activities were, but it was great to stay together as a family.

Dusty and I were able to go Scuba diving in the Homestead Crater. It is a huge hot spring in the middle of the mountains. The water was about 93 degrees, and it was very neat. There isn't any life to see, but it was still a good experience for me. As I had not been diving for a while, it was a good refresh course for my diving skills. pictures will come soon. I need to find the underwater camera:).

The evening we arrived, we went to a park in Springville to have a picnic dinner with Virginia's family. They were all very nice, and Andrew is lucky to have married into such a great family. We had a taco feast, with Grandma's famous homemade tortilla's and salsa. Thanks Grandma! The kids played on the playground, and we all had an enjoyable time. We then went over to the Bean Museum at BYU for a reptile show. The kids loved it, especially when they got to touch the snake.
The men kidnapped Andrew for a Bachelor night and went to see the new Star Trek movie. Dusty said it was great, but I still have yet to see it. They got back very late, and Dusty got very little sleep after driving all night. I am not sure really how he survived.

On Saturday, we met at the Draper temple and were able to see them get sealed for time and all eternity. It was a great ceremony, performed by Ginny's Grandfather. The Draper temple is the newest temple and located in the mountains overlooking the valley. It was very beautiful, and were glad to be a part of this special occasion.

After the sealing, we met up the kids and those who could not attend the ceremony and took pictures on the temple grounds. We then went to American Fork for a luncheon/reception. The food was delicious, and overall a great day!

Congratulations Andrew and Ginny! We love you both.
