The second week of our trip we spent in Lindon, UT with Rhett's sister Tonja and her kids. The two sets of cousins can never seem to get enough of each other. While there we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House. It is a beautiful building and I am grateful we got to take the kids to such a neat event. We played outside, went to a water park, went to BYU and the Bean Science Museum on campus, did some school shopping, played some more, went to the movies, went on a picnic up Provo Canyon and played in the river and had a picnic with some of my old BYU roomies.
One really neat thing about our trip (and it just worked out this way) is that Rhett's parents were in the MTC (missionary training center) while we were there and we got to spend about 4 days with them before they flew to Kenya/Tanzania on their mission. It was a neat time and lots of family stopped by the house to see them so we got to see lots of family too. We are going to miss Ron and Linda more than words can say. We are excited to hear of their adventures and all that they are doing. I think they will be an amazing example for all of us but especially for the grandkids. That is not to say that our hearts weren't heavy as we had to say our goodbyes. It will be hard but thank heavens for the internet. We hope to be able to webchat with them starting in a couple of weeks.
It was a great vacation and was hard to come home to the heat!
