Utah discoveries

Last Saturday we returned from Utah after having been touring around for about a week. We spent most of our time in Salt Lake but also visited Provo and St. George. Jeber enjoyed discovering the wonder that is Utah for the first time and I was able to do things I had never done before. My parents were kind enough to take us and were very patient with us and understanding of what we wanted to do. Anyway, it was a good get-away as a sort of graduation celebration for me and these pictures are just a few selected from the mass of photos taken.1. Here we have all of the matches Jeber found in the drawer of a desk in the smelly "smoke-free" room we stayed in in Provo. Talk about ghetto! I just noticed and would like to point your attention towards the book that is also in the picture. For those of you non-Spanish speakers--"The Miracle of Forgiveness"--nice touch.
2. We went to Music and the Spoken Word on Sunday morning. It was really neat to hear MOTAB in person and to see the man with the famous voice--Lloyd K. Newell, who Jeber pointed out says the little lick at General Conferences: "This is the 175th session....

3. We are pictured here with Jeber's name-sake: Heber J. Grant. (Interesting picture of both of us)
4. In the Church History museum as part of the exhibit of Gordon B. Hinckley. Pretty cool stuff!

5. We went horse-back riding on Antelope the island, the island in the middle of the Salt Lake. We also went swimming in the Great Salt Lake--it wasn't very "Great"--it was basically disgusting.

6. We ate at this cool Guatemalan restaraunt that serves only Mexican and American food--go figure. It was really cool though, way more elaborate than Rainforest Cafe and they had a pool in the middle of the restaurant and Mayan divers that did all of these cool dives into the pool while you ate dinner. (Mom is so funny!)
7. Jeber has decided that he could spend everyday on Temple Square and not get sick of it.

It was a long and good trip. We spent time at Temple Square, did a temple session, the Church Humanitarian Center, the Salt Lake. We visited BYU, ate some really yummy ice cream at the Creamery on 9th, visited the Provo temple, and visited the MTC. We visited Cove Fort on the way down to St. George. We saw some historic buildings and houses in St. George, saw the temple and the visitor center, went shopping at the outlet mall, and saw "The Sound of Music" at Tuachann. Thanks mom and dad for taking us and especially for putting up with us.
