Mark's grandma is turning 90 this year and the family wanted to throw a surprise party when the majority of the family would be in town. We took a quick trip to Utah to be present with the family.
We stopped briefly along the way to see the Malad Gorge
Dani and her cousin, kara were the best of friends on the trip. They didn't get near enough time together.
We also made a rushed trip to temple square. Every time there was water, the kids were drawn to it and we spent most of our time trying to get them away from it. (Picture shown at the Conference Center).
We managed a quick picture at temple square with all of the cousins (even thought they didn't all want to be in it).
Another place of water.
We eventually made it to the Beehive House where Brigham Young and two other prophets lived and took a tour.
Inside, the family had their own candy store.

Unfortunately, that was all we had time for, so we rushed back through temple square, with a mere glance of the temple.

It was a quick trip, but we always love being able to visit with family. Wish we could have done more.
