Double Double Anniversary

SWA saved the day on this flight and we even got to sit together with extra leg room. Koop's first day of pre-school.  Saw a dino at the airport which he loves. We tried Trax for the first time in SLC and toodled around downtown ~ so fun!
Loved spending time at Temple Square ~ so many new & beautiful things!

Spent the night and had a yummy dinner at Steve & Stephs.  Loved visiting with them and their cute kiddos, and playing with Fenway too!

Jordan River Temple ~ where we were married 30 years ago! Loved our endowment session. It is a huge and incredible temple with so many people there.

We took uber/lift around and explored Gardner Village.

Such a fun surprise for Mike & Joylene on their 60th anniversary! Yummy dinner and loved seeing family. Here's our double double picture ~ we're 30 years & they're 60.
Delta got us home quick (thank you Kurtis!) And we still got to sit close. We even got to see Kurt leaving for a flight when we were getting off.  He's on the airplane waving at us, but hard to see through the windows;) Hudson & Steph talked LeAnn & Justin into doing the Beast Spartan race in March ~ lots of training to do!
Such a beautiful 3 day adventure!
