UTAH!

Armed with a car full of snacks and a few books on tape, we set out for our Second Annual Trip to Utah for sports camp at BYU. This year Tanner went to Basketball Camp. Sam (my friend Jenn's son) went too. At first Tanner was upset that Sam couldn't be on his team (they put all the lefties on the same team, Sam is a lefty) but then Tanner decided that he had the best coach so it didn't matter that Sam wasn't on his team. Tanner said his favorite part about camp was his coach Haley, the popsicle break, and free time. Can you tell he really loves sports?

Well, he may not win MVP, but he did win the Teammate Award for being a good sportsman! I was so proud and so was he. He got to go up in front of everyone and get an arm band for his Award!
Sam also got an award, the "Hustler Award", and he earned it! He is quite the basketball player!

When the kids weren't playing basketball, we saw the sights of Happy Valley. We went with Lawni and Jenn (and kids of course) to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point.

We also spent plenty of time a walking around BYU going to the museums there and of course getting ice cream at the Creamery. The campus was flooded with EFY kids and we were amazed at how they always seemed to be eating, and this was on top of the three cafeteria meals we assumed they get.

We love little ones who share!

Lawni was so nice to let us stay at her house. We were all a little cranky towards the end thanks to an abundance of late nights and early mornings, so I am hoping we didn't wear out our welcome and she will let us stay there next time we venture up North...
