This morning we woke up to go to the Provo City Center Temple. Unfortunately, Kimball has got a tummy ache, so he wasn’t able to come with us.
The Provo City Center is so beautiful, and it was great to be there. I’ll have to go back on a different day to get a good photo. Today we just focused on the baptisms.
After the temple, I took the kids to Krispy Kreme for donuts. They’d never had them. At first the kids were skeptical about getting plain donuts, but when we got home and put them in the microwave, they changed their tune. It’s one of Utah County’s great treats!
When I got home I reached out to my friend James Krause, who teaches Portuguese and runs the language lab at Utah Valley University. They are currently in the middle of a huge upgrade for their language lab. I think it will be pretty great when it’s done. And we ate Kolache, which is another of Utah County’s great treats :)
When I left there, I ran down to my Mount Timpanogos lookout to see if I could get a good picture with the clouds, but they never cleared enough.
In the afternoon, Betty, Kimball, Anahi, Ian, and I went for a four mile hike -- just down 800 S and up to 400 S and back home. It was a good start to our more serious hiking.
In the evening, the kids went to youth activities with their cousins. And they loved it.
Distance hiked today: 6.44km/4.0mi
Distance hiked on trip: 9.28km/5.77mi
