We headed up to Provo at 2:30 on Friday. Dawson was done with college at noon, Andrew was out for Labor Day weekend and mom is always off on Fridays, and Dan is always ready for the weekend. I baked for three house straight making treats for Alexa's blessing luncheon after church on Sunday. I made Peanut butter bars, mint brownies, peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, lemon squares, and Shanna Jones' famous ultra rich brownies. I love to bake but don't usually make desserts anymore because I'd just eat them and I can't afford to do that!
Andrew rode the bus up to Provo with his cross country team so we had room to take Sam, Mia and Trent Saaralainen up to visit their dad. We met up with Elyse, their sister at BYU. Dawson stayed and hung out with her and more of their PVHS friends. Theya attended a dance and Dawson got a chance to see what BYU life was about.
We went and bought Krispy Kreme doughnuts for the Cross Country team and took them
and some hats to the Cotton Tree Inn where the kids were staying. It is a tradition for us to take doughnuts to the kids when they are in Provo at EFY or something. Dan and I got a hot doughnut off the conveyer belt while we were there. Good thing that I don't live in Provo. It was very tasty!!
We went to Dan brother, Jon's house and spent the night. We kicked Jonba out of his room! Next morning we went to BYU to watch the Cross Country Meet. It is very exhilerating to watch all of the runners at this meet. The beautiful mountains behind the campus are inspiring. Andrew did a good job and has been on the Varsity team the last two years, even though he is only in 10th grade.
We left right after his race to drive to SLC and pick up Danielle and Steve and baby Alexa who had just flown in from Portland. It was so great to see my little grandbaby again! Danielle requested that we head right to Cafe Rio for lunch.
