Utah - day 2

Since Laura and crew were out of town we reached out to Shelly and Christina to see if we could go to church with one of them and Shelly won. 

Her ward met at 12, so we had plenty of time in the morning. I went for a run and Adi slept in and it was a lovely and slow morning. 

Shelly’s ward was really amazing. The testimonies were beautiful and singing The Star Spangled Banner together was perfect, there wasn’t a dry eye. Shelly’s kids are so grown up and I just miss their family! Adi went to SS with Charlie and I went with Shelly and they were great lessons all around. 

We had planned to stay the next few days with Frey in Provo, but that didn’t end up working out. We had already made plans to see aunt Jeanne in Salt Lake, so we drove down again - almost an hour to visit then. Pit stop at In’n’Out on our way. Animal style always. 

We had some time to kill so we walked around the Conference Center. 

When the salt lake temple opens that will really be something special! It’s been a long time!

We talked to the cutest missionaries and it was a really lovely afternoon. 

We rock paper scissored this photo shoot and I lost. Best 2 out of  3 even. 

Adi was a good sport and posed also. 

I loved this beautiful paper art. So unique!

We had a nice visit and root beer floats with Jeanne and Ray. Ray worked for Delta so he gave Adi some of the inside scoop.  

We made it back to Ogden in time for an 8:00 hike. 

I’d kill for this trail! 5 minutes from Laura’s house, I die. 

When we got back from our hike, Laura, David, Katie, and kids had arrived so we visited and played games and it was another fabulous day in Utah.
