Utah Trip part 4

Tuesday was also a very fun day! We did a little more boondocks, family fun center in the morning to use up the rest of our card money, and then little shopping~ thank you grandma for watching the kids! Then Vicki watched the kids while everyone that could went to the Bountiful Temple! What a great experience. I know it was one that we all will remember. Then we came home and had a yummy dinner and visited with some family that came over, Chris' uncle and aunt. It was lots of fun to stay up and chat and visit way too late, but hey, we were on vacation! :)

Wednesday was nearing the end of our trip. We ate at Village Inn for breakfast and then headed to Provo to drop Joshua off at the MTC. It was a bitter sweet moment. Then we went to Nick and Emily's house to visit and relax before eatting at the Mayan. The Mayan is an old High School redone mexican style with a pool and divers and thunder/lightening. It's quite the atmosphere, but they redid their menu and the prices are a bit ridiculous!!! Anyway, then we headed to Natalie's apartment to see it, by this time the kids were asleep in the vehicle! We then stopped off at Andrea's new salon, which was amazing, before heading back to Grandma's house to finish packing and travel to the airport to fly home. Chris and I had a red-eye flight, which was to leave at 11:38 but actually took off after 3am! We landed at JFK at 9am, missing our connecting flight! We were tired to say the least! But, we took off about 5pm in JFK and landed safely in Richmond. We got our luggage and our van and were finally home a little after 10pm! What a day!!! Saying good bye was not easy, but we will visit again as soon as we can...good bye for now! This was a trip the kids will remember forever! A special thanks to MRS. TANNER for making this trip possible!!!

Sorry for the comment, but I stumbled on your blog tonight. Are the MTC drop-offs still curbside? I heard they moved to that method during last year's Swine Flu epidemic, but wasn't sure if they just kept the routine or not.

Seeing as you just made a trip through Utah, this may not help you right away, but I recently created a utah trip activity book for our six kids. If you pass through Utah again with your kids you might want to try it out. It is just a free, printable book

Here is the link if you are interested:
Utah Travel Guide for Kids

We create them as we take our family on trips. We have a number of different books (all free). If you use one, let me know what you think? My kids love them, but we are always looking for outside feed back! :)
