Trip Day 3

Relatively early, Matt and I drove back down to Utah County fetch the kids.  We made a quick stop at Lehi Roller Mills to replenish our stash of baked goods mixes.  (They come to our Costco twice a year, but that is apparently not often enough.)  We found the girls playing in the dirt.

Isaac was too wrapped up with his big boy cousins, but I took my girls, plus Katie down to Provo to meet up with Emily, kids and Kim on BYU campus.

We walked around the art museum for a bit while waiting for Kim to come down from her summer home.
Here is Katie, Makenna and Jess aping the statue.

Then we went over to the Wilk for lunch.  That's where Emily found us.
Makenna was longing to hold Baby Thomas.


Jess wanted a turn too, and Emily was kind and brave.  (I hovered.)


Somehow Sam escaped this picture.

Eventually, the kiddos got a bit stir crazy, so we migrated to the ballroom, where they could run, and Emily, Kim and I could chat.
They danced, they played "toilet tag" and hide n' go seek--that was a bit of a challenge in a huge empty ballroom.  Always check the pillars.  


Kim was the sweet photographer for this part.  


Jess loved playing with Sam. 


He is a snuggly baby.

When we thought we might be attracting too much attention from BYU's staff as they set up for an EFY dance (another group of kids were joining in), we left to play outside.  

Makenna wanted another turn while the other kids cooled their feet.



Sam played a grass game with me.  


After one snail shell was found, they all became searchers.  One shell was found with its occupant still home.   


Here is a picture of Emily with Kim.  Sorry Kim's not in more.  That's what happens when you are the photographer. 

After we left BYU, we drove up to Bountiful for a big dinner.  The girls got to see ALL their cousins in one day.  Isaac missed out.  





This shawl and huge apron were the coveted dress-ups.  There was sometimes a race to see who got to them first.   That night Isaac went back down to PG to sleep.  The girls stayed up north with bulk of the girls.
