Part of my trip planning was researching all the temples I could go to. 🤗 Laura has 2 new ones 30 minutes from her house! But first, I found that the Mt. Timpanogas temple was open on Monday morning. I didn’t have an appointment, but I woke up at 5:30 and drove an hour down anyway.
So pretty. I performed initiatories and had the best morning.
I had a lot of names since I have 3 girls doing baptisms now.
I hightailed it back to North Ogden and picked Adi up and headed *back* down to Provo to meet Cosette for our byu tour. I drove a lot that week.
She walked us all around and into some of the different buildings. I was most interested in the international studies building and all their study abroad’s! 😍
After a few hours touring we hit the creamery for ice cream. We sat in the shade there for several hours chatting.
I have always wanted to hike the Y. My plan was to meet Cosette in the afternoon and then hike the Y when it got cooler, but it didn’t cool off for several more hours, so that wasn’t gonna work.
We decided to go for it and I bought everyone a big water.
We. Almost. Died.
There was no shade and a very light breeze.
I finished my water about halfway up and though Adi and Cosette shared theirs, I limited myself big time because I didn’t want to drink all of theirs.
I was so hot that even though it was tiring, I would have hustled through, but my comps requested lots of breaks. It just felt like prolonging misery, honestly.
There was one point as we were walking up that I started getting chills and I really wondered if I was getting heat stroke. As the oldest adult there I was just asking myself if I was being dumb putting us all in danger. I envisioned medics running up the mountain and asked if the girls would like to turn around. They agreed we’d hike to the bottom of the Y, and thankfully we made it and were all fine. Someday I’ll make it to the top!
We went to Cafe Rio for dinner and drank all. the. water. We drank several bottles full and I still didn’t pee for several hours, I was v dehydrated.
We took Cosette back to her house and she showed us around and we gave hugs and thanked her for spending the day with us. It’s a real bummer that she’s graduating from college as Adi’s graduating from high a school. She’s good stuff!

We had a very interesting character come up to us at Cafe Rio. She ranted about her 44 trespassing violations and several counts of resisting arrest and showed off her ankle monitor loud and proud. Also, Kevin Costner called her while she talked to us. Poor thing.
I-15 is long and boring, but the HOV lane was wonderful. We visited and played games with McCombs and went to bed tired and happy.
