My trip to Provo!

Well, I made my trip to Utah. I took a relaxing trip on the train - it so beats driving! Nothing compares to the view of Donner Lake from the train (I really need to try it sometime when there's snow on the ground). I got to spend a lot of quality time with my brother and sister in law and got to go to the Manti Temple for the first time since I received my endowment a little over ten years ago. I also got to hike the Y and watch the fireworks for the America's Freedom Festival from over a mile up the mountail (the trail from the base is apparently 1.2 miles - all steep terrain up the mountain). It was fun. Hopefully I can blog about that more later. In the meantime, here are some pictures

Donner Lake
The Gordon B. Hinckley Alumni Center at BYU.
The Saraivas and I at Los Hermanos. I look absolutely HUGE compared to them, lol!

My brother and me at the Manti Temple The Y on the Mountain and the view from there of Provo on Independence Day. Somewhere below Miley Cyrus was playing the Stadium of Fire.
My friends Jill and Analane. My hair is so horrible!

I LOVE the picture of you and your brother in front of the temple. It would look awesome in a frame. I like the perspective...instead of straight on, the up-look is really cool.

Thanks! I liked that angle too! And you can get more of the top of the temple without making us really small.
