We traveled up North to watch the State Cross Country Meet at Highland High School. Danielle flew in from Portland to spend the week with us. She had missed Cafe Rio since moving, so that is one of the first places that we stopped in Salt Lake. We also ate there in Provo and Park City! We stopped by Gardner Village in South SLC and walked through the shops and saw all the witches and pumpkins on display.
We had dinner with Danielle's in laws, the Jackson's in Orem. Danielle met her new little neice, Taylor. We shopped in Park City where we love to visit the art galleries. We also hiked the trail to the famous white barn and saw all the scarecrows on display. Dawson scraped his leg climbing up inside the silo at the barn, but luckily we didn't have to go to the emergency room. Every time we stay in Park City we usually end up there!
We had a lunch picnic along the Provo river in Midway/Heber and enjoyed the fall leaves. We watched a few movies and enjoyed the out door hot tubs at the Marriott Mountainside. Dawson took the ACT test at BYU on Saturday morning. The main reason for the visit up North was for the BYU vs UNLV game on Sauturday. It was a beautiful fall day in full sun as we watched the cougars defeat the rebels. Danielle and I were able to attend a baby shower for my sister in law, Lesa, married to Jon, after the game. The boys met up with a cousin, Jason, who had flown out from Tennessee with his Priest quorum to see the game and tour BYU. They also met up with cousins Jonathon and Justin.
The highlight of the trip was the chance to see our prophet, Pres. Monson, who just happened to be making a presentation at the Mo Tab choir broadcast that we attended on Sunday morning. After that we dropped Danielle off at the SLC airport and headed for home. Steve would have liked to have joined us but he had Dental school tests on Monday and so he needed to study. (He ended up getting the second highest scores in his class!)
