Utah...BYU

Who doesn't love a good Utah trip (to see those of you who live here already, of course)?

It's really the only place I watch football, thanks to Braithwaites! BYU vs. Utah. We all know how much Allie and Uncle Mike get into it. It's contagious and I find myself getting into it every once in awhile. Really into it...

The mountains. It's amazing to look out the window and see mountains! And it's great driving up the 15 past Lagoon, imaging yourself on The Rocket or the big, white, rickety roller coaster.

Soccer, kickball, and trampoline in Braithwaite's back yard. And who can resist a game of "spin really fast to get really dizzy then see who can walk the straightest line" with Rachel? (She was amazing at it. Seriously. It only took her one step to re-orient and walk straight, and that was after spinning for a looong time. When giving me tips on being better, she said, "I just look for something fuzzy that looks sorta like a human and I know it must be you." So then she starts walking towards me. She had other key tips for success as well.)

Pounce, Rook, word whiz, scum, and family dinners around the tables in Heber and Kaysville.

There are beautiful hikes of all levels of difficulty. The outdoors are lovely.

Thanks for always letting me come visit! I love being here!!
