Utah - day 4

On Tuesday morning I sweet talked Adi into getting up early with me to drive down to the Draper temple. She was really sweet about it

I love worshipping in the temple. And I love traveling and I love combining two loves. 

Also, Draper is up on the mountain and the area around is *beautiful*.

We met up with Frey and Taylor at their house at 9 and they took us to Thanksgiving Point. I told him we’d love to do a hike or something and he asked if we’d like to walk around some really pretty gardens. I had also wanted to go to Thanksgiving Point but knew nothing about it, so I was excited to discover the gardens were at Thanksgiving Point. 

I unfortunately did not take my phone, so only got the one picture. But we rode a fun slide, walked through the statues of Christ’ life and the Book of Mormon and the gardens. The whole park is really beautiful. 

After, we got a tour of UVU where Frey works. My fav thing at UVU was when we went by their bank and they had tons of free swag and I snagged this amazing ice cream scooper thing. I got one for Laura and Katie too. 🤗

We ran into a few snafus trying to get lunch but finally got our food from Los Hermanos.

This is Lexi’s cat from when she was at byu and when she came home for the summer she left her with Frey and then never took her back. 

Frey had a root canal at 2:00, so we headed home towards north Ogden, but when we passed Lehi, I got a wild idea. We found the old Sister Wives house!  

I know, I know. 🤣 It’s just that we had the whole afternoon and it was *right* off the freeway. 

Our next stop was the Sandy DI, which Cosette said is the best one. We got Adi and Frankie cowgirl boots for Tennessee. 

That night we cuddled with babes and spent time with friends. All the babies are so sweet! Braxton and Asher were a little discombobulated from traveling, but I did manage to get a pic with Ollie.  

One other thing about Utah is their sodas. Last time I was there - 6 years ago I think - I found and fell in love with Swig and I was so excited to go back! But then we popped into a maverick one day and they have super fun flavors and this delicious cream. And their sodas are $.89 instead of $4+. So we stopped at several mavericks. I know sodas aren’t great, but a girls gotta live a little. 🤣🤗
