| Car selfie The first week of summer and I decided we needed to get out of town and head to Utah! Super fun. |

Our stop on the 70 at Taco Bell in Rifle.
Only the best.
We stayed with our good friends the Heatons. Cutest kids in Orem.
Chester looks so grown up here!
Swim day in Provo
A trip up to Sundance with cousin Haylee. Took the ski lift up for a long hike back to the village.
She was excited.
Excuse my dumb finger in the photo.
We made it to the water falls.
My summer girl. She looks pretty Boulder here(on that boulder!).
Henry climbed behind the falls. Naturally.
I saw my super awesome friend Stephanie. She has remained hip after all these years! (18 years to be exact)
Visiting the Art Museum on BYU campus. I wish that was here when I attended! So wonderful to see the exhibits. This was a rainbow threaded from the ceiling. Such a thoughtful piece.
Taking Lucy and Audrey to see Princess Academy on campus at the Pardoe theatre. So fun, even Chester enjoyed it!
My sister Leslie.I love talking with her in person. She makes me smile, laugh and think about life differently!

| Ceiling of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building( it is all cut glass) |
After 2 wonderful days in Provo we headed up to Temple Square in Salt Lake City. The kids have never been, so it was a treat!
The lobby in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building
We went and saw "Meet the Mormons" later that evening in the theater. Such an elegant building!
Sitting on the west steps of the temple.
Chillin'
Statues of Joseph and Hyrum Smith.
Joseph said of Hyrum, "I could pray in my heart that all men were like my brother Hyrum, who posesses the mildness of a lamb and the integrity of Job: and in short the meekness and humility of Christ. I love him with that love that is stronger than death."
They were both shot and killed in Carthage Jail.
The gorgeous Assembly Hall
Lucy's flower portraits
Learning how to do genealogy. They have their own accounts and know how to do a couple of things. Henry was insistent we come here.
Chester wore his fedora all day.
He received many compliments from older gentlemen working in various locations on the grounds.
It was pretty adorable.
"It is not what we receive that enriches our lives, it is what we give." - George Albert Smith
Of course Henry and I posed as statues.
We finished the day with a meal at the Lion House.
And if you ask sweetly, they WILL give you extra rolls!
We had a great day touring around.
We made some memories on this quick trip. Like playing in the park with cousin Danielle and Haylee til dark, walking with my sister and just talking and catching up, visiting with my Cami, (oh...Cami's homeade cookies waiting for us when we got to her house!), seeing temples dot the landscape, and rockin out with our playlists in the car. Next year? Same time, same place!
We'll reserve your room. You are welcome to come eat my cookies anytime! Love my Collins family.
