I slacked off taking pictures with grandma…we were able to do a lot of fun things and had fun showing her the sites of Utah!

Some highlights….

Toured the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers museum (a must).  It has a huge collection of pioneer items and is nicknamed “Utah’s attic”.  We could have spent hours…

Toured the Church History Museum

Went up on the 26th floor observation deck of the Church Office Building

Toured the Conference Center…it’s worth it to see the pictures in the “hall of prophets” and to go up on the roof that I call the “forest on the roof.”

Took a drive through Provo Canyon.  Saw Bridal Veil Falls and Sundance Ski Resort.  Beautiful.  One of our favorite drives.  Can’t wait to go again and see Fall coming upon us.

Went to Swiss Days in Midway Utah.  Drove by Park City and saw some 2002 Winter Olympic sites.

Introduced grandma to Brick Oven Pizza in Provo (soon to be one in South Jordan right by our house..can’t wait)

Went to the BYU campus and bookstore.  A favorite stop!

Got ice cream from the BYU creamery.  Yummy.  Saw an old friend there, too. 

Picked up Elizabeth (Big Mister’s niece) from Orem several times so she could spend time with Grandma, too.  We also had her spend the night just before grandma left. 

We watched 17 Miracles all together.  Loved it.

We watched Just Like Heaven, too.  It’s a good rent.

Drove around Salt Lake to view all the historic buildings and homes.

Grandma got to see several temples, too!
