Stompin' Grounds

We took a quick trip up to Logan to celebrate our survival of tax season. We had a great time together swimming at the hotel, eating some good grub, seeing a movie, going to the park, visiting the beautiful temple, and walking down memory lane at good ol' Utah State. Here the girls are sporting their new Aggie gear.


Our visit to Willow Park.





Here they are by the "True Aggie 'A'". We told the girls all about the tradition of kissing atop the platform during a full moon at midnight. Mostly they were horrified and disgusted that anyone would do such a thing. However as we were leaving Logan on our way home, Mallory exclaimed, "Ohhhhh, we forgot to become True Aggies!" Cutest thing I think I've ever heard.


Since we moved to Utah County, the crazies here have brainwashed three of our children into thinking BYU is the only option...well, we decided to do a little brainwashing of our own. Here we are at Old Main. I think our attempts worked. Now they claim Utah State is their favorite school and BYU is second. We'll see how long the effects of our journey last.


A cute picture of daddy and two of his little girls.


I had Libbie take a picture of the "love birds". Not much has changed in 10 years. Ha Ha Ha.


Not sure what parent was letting their child roll down the hill at the temple ;).


A little excited to be heading to the pool.

Oh looks like so much fun to me, I would love to spend a few days in Logan showing our kids around. It looks like you all had a good time. The girls look really cute in their dresses too. Hey and only 2 more months...please go fast.

I'm from Utah county and somehow managed to survive the BYU brainwash, so it is possible. Keep working on it though. Looks like you had fun.

I love all the pictures at USU. It looks like you had a great get-away-together time. These little moments are priceless - way to go!

Love,

Mom

You guys are all so stinkin' cute! I just want to squeeze all those little girls in a big hug when I see the pictures! I'm glad you guys had fun in Logan even though you were supposed to come visit us. :)

My parents will be proud! We were taught BYU was the last Utah school on the list... when people told me they wanted to go there I never really got it :)
