Trip to Utah/Road trip 2012



Our trip out west is going to take several blog posts!!  We crammed so much into being gone for 9 days with 4 of those on the road, all day!!  The purpose of our trip was to take Sarah back to BYU and for Amy to see BYU before applying this year.  I felt so bad last year that Sarah never actually saw the campus except when she was 8 years old and not looking at it as a place to go to school until we were driving down that hill as a freshman ready to drop her off!!  It broke my heart!!  I wanted Amy to go on a tour, see the campus and get excited about what she was applying for knowing BYU Idaho has the same feeling to their campus as Provo does.  We decided to leave Abby and Jenn here since we were spending VERY long days in the car, neither of them like the car and it worked out well, Abby REALLY missed her Mom, Jenn LOVED having no parents and noone telling her what to do and coming and going as she pleased.  Abby stayed the whole time with Julie and family and Jenn split her time between Julie's and the Overtons.  We drove first to Kansas and spent 2 days with the Shipps.  It was SO much fun to spend time with them and see them in their own surroundings and their school stuff since it is always them coming here.  They were so good to us and we had a wonderful time.  The kids were in school but we enjoyed spending the day with Sue and met Phil for lunch.  We went to the St. Louis Temple and did some fun shopping!!  Here are some pictures of our stay in Kansas!!
