At Gram & Pops'

We had a great time staying with Gram and Pops.  I don't think Chase ever stopped playing :)  Here are some random pictures from the week.

This was before the "put a towel on the ottoman before playing with the tracks" rule

Chase found a secret exit :)

Charlie is basically the big, floppy older brother

Some quiet time.

Ty took the best naps because he was held so often, although he looks a little contorted here :)

Trains with Trevor

Cheering on Chase (who needed to eat his dinner)

Sweet sleeping guy

It was really nice to spend a week with family.  Chase loved playing with so many people he usually sees just on Skype, and obviously Ty loved all the time he was held.  A fantastic first leg of our trip in Utah.  Thanks for having us, Gram and Pops!

Headed South

While we were in Salt Lake, we took an afternoon to head back down to Provo.  Wanted to visit a few places and people.  And of course we had to drive down the I-15 to see how wide and fancy it is after Marcus spent so much time helping with their PR campaign.

We made a point to finally go see Marcus' name on the plaque for being the 2012 Outstanding Senior in PR.  We had gotten a letter about it and finally were able to find it.

Yay Marcus :)

And we also were able to check out the fancy new Bradley Lab at BYU.  It's a good thing it didn't look this fancy when Marcus was at school because he probably would've spent even more time there. :)

Testing out the fancy chair

Chase had to check out one too

He didn't get in trouble- he just was tired.

Looks so nice and professional!

The next generation of PR students

Brian and Courtney met up with us here before heading out to lunch

We had a delicious J Dawgs lunch.  If you haven't been, go.  Best hot dogs ever.  Seriously.  And I'm not a huge hot dog fan.

As we walked back to the car, we passed the duck pond.  Chase thought they were hilarious.

We also dropped by the school district to see Gail, Colleen, and Jenni, who I used to work for when I would do the lunch applications.  Sadly Gail wasn't there, but we took some pictures at her desk anyway :)

Chase loves computers

Seems like we hadn't been to Provo in forever.  It was fun.  Blast from the past.

We also had a few other Salt Lake City side trips.  We were invited to dinner at the Walch's, but sadly I don't have any pictures from that.  Chase was being a stinker anyway.  Well, until Scott got home.  Then he was entranced by his bright work uniform. :)  I also had to include this picture- We had lunch with Jonne and Nana one afternoon, and Marcus snapped this picture.  Nana and her oldest son's oldest daughter's oldest (and only) son.

We had a great time in Utah.  It went by so fast.  It stunk when Marcus got sick, and then when I got it from him... but that aside, it was a busy few days full of fun, friends, and family.
