Utah Trip

We had a chilly picnic complete with fall leaves in Page, AZ...

a deer rammed our van near Panguich, UT...

(here's the deer hair in our headlights to prove it)

And we still made the trip to Provo in 10 1/2 hours.

Next day was spent with all the Moody gang.

With a last name of "Moody" it's easy to come up with some great ideas for reunion t-shirts.

Brainstorming ideas:

"Moody B****es for the girls and "Moody Dudes" for the boys.

Another favorite was, "Do you look as good as you feel?" (Grandpa Grant Moody's saying)

In the end we decided to go with just "Moody" on the front. Kind of boring, but appropriate!

Here are Margo and her siblings singing, "Sampson."
And, Grandpa Moody singing the Sunday School song with Uncle Greg as accompanist.

On Friday, we spent some time at Trafalga riding around.

Caleb kept scaring me by pretending he was riding into the walls and then turning at the last minute!

Then, we got a frantic call from Sarah saying that Grandma Martinsen had picked up the mail in Mesa and Sarah's mission call was there. We rushed back to Rob & Jami's to listen to the call read over the phone...

New Zealand Temple Visitor's Center!!!

Then, the ladies left the men to carve the leftover Halloween pumpkins while the ladies went to a movie (Twilight) and dinner at CPK.

On Saturday, we went to Salt Lake City to tour around with the Johnsons. We took the traditional picture at Seagull Monument,

looked at the beautiful temple,

wandered through the Church History Museum.

and ended up at the Conference Center.

Our favorite was the display of original works by Arnold Freeburg. The boys were very impressed with these Book of Mormon story paintings.

The last event of the trip was visiting with the Skinner family in Sandy. Ryan and Brad were mission companions and the four of us took a trip to Colombia when we were newlyweds. We hadn't seen them for years and if was so nice to catch up and watch parts of the ASU and BYU games.
