Utah fun: Visiting Isaac and more friends and relatives

  

Entering Utah, our most-visited vacation spot!

 We stopped in Brigham City to see our friends from Travis AFB days (1997-2000).   We met at a park then had milkshakes.  And we saw the new Brigham City Temple (above).

 We stayed at my Aunt Mary's and Uncle Steve's and we always love seeing them.  Josh loved their hot tub, too.

 We always managed to fit everything in the car each morning.  It was nice having 2 empty seats!

  

We headed south towards Provo, and dropped Eliza and Madi off to stay with their cousin, Charissa.  We passed the Mt. Timanogos Temple (above).

Isaac is loving BYU

Isaac wanted to show us some favorite spots in Provo, including this hot dog place (above).  Isaac loved it because he was already calling Josh "J-Dog" before he ever found this place.

Isaac loves riding the ATV with cousins Bowdy and Josie.

Josh and Raysha are the same age (their birthdays are just days apart).  Aunt Heather helped Josh ride Raysha's horse.

Now Rachel is driving

Grandma Shirley came to visit

Josh didn't sit here for long, after he nearly crashed into Rachel's legs (she jumped away in the nick of time)

Cool playhouse made by Uncle Jared

Josh wanted a kitten so badly!

Coolest library, in Provo

We also stopped and saw Tinsley and Missy, our friends from Guam (2000-2002), who were visiting their Grandma in Provo.  We called and met them at a store (briefly) before we headed out to eastern Utah to see more cousins.
