Logan

We had such a fun time in Logan with Marie and Jeff... Bear Lake was super awesome (as you saw in my last post). We LOVED it! On Sunday, we went to their ward. Of course it's a "Young Married Student" Ward... so we totally fit right in! HAHA :) Actually, we felt a TINY bit weird, but the gospel is the same no matter where you meet. I don't feel any older than the people in their ward, but I'm sure they looked at us like "who are these old people!?" Our kids were really good in Sacrament Meeting, and we even had a few people mention how reverent they were, and asked us how we do it? I don't know. I guess we just have awesome kids! They don't have a real primary, and definitely don't have a Young Women's Organization, so we really had to "go with the flow." Kaitlyn, Bryson and Hayden went into Nursery... but they gave them a real primary lesson. I guess there are only even a couple of little nursery kids. There are a few babies in the ward, but not big enough for nursery yet. Kaitlyn was pretty easy going about it, and didn't mind hanging out in there. Hayden was a little crazy when it came to coloring his picture, but that was to be expected after being so good in Sacrament Meeting! B was just happy to be wherever. Eryn, on the other hand, ended up having to come with us to the Marriage and Family class, and was definitely a little uncomfortable. She stayed with me for Relief Society, too. Poor kid! She didn't complain, but I could tell it was a bit awkward for her. It was a good lesson, though, and would be good for anyone of any age to hear.

Monday: We headed out on the town! First stop: The Utah State Football Stadium (as requested by my football fan hubby).

The kids had fun running up and down the stairs.

And sitting on the big "A"

Then we just kinda wandered around campus a little bit. When I was in high school, we had Cheer camp at Utah State, and I just loved it. I actually thought about attending Utah State at one point, but I decided it was just too far away from home. Good thing, or I wouldn't have met Jared! ;)

Jeff showed us the Old Main Hill. He says it has been a pretty popular spot for sledding in the winter, but it's probably a bit dangerous. He did mention that he broke his collar bone on this hill! Our kids thought it would be fun to run all the way down the stairs and back up. Especially when they chased a squirrel up part of the way! I decided that I would just stay at the top and watch. Jared and Jeff joined the kids...

they aren't the LEAST bit competitive (right!)

Then Jeff took us to the "kissing A" (I think that's whate he said it was called). Apparently if you stand on the A and kiss someone, you become a true Aggie. Well, we have since learned that there are a bunch of other "rules" that we didn't follow, so I guess we aren't true Aggies. Oh well ;)

Then, of course, it was off to see the Logan Temple. I love the older temples. They are just so pretty! I'm amazed at the craftsmanship and detail they have, without the modern tools we have today. Just gorgeous!

Then we headed back for some lunch...

And we went to a little zoo. I didn't get many pictures there, but there were some fun animals to see, and the kids got to feed some ducks... so it was fun. I have to say, with all these fun things we did, the majority of the time spent at Marie and Jeff's apartment was doing THIS:

Nothing like some good Mario Kart to fill up the down time. Once again, thank you Marie and Jeff for hosting us (or should I say, putting up with us) for the entire Labor Day Weekend. We had a blast!
