Good Old Provo

Provo holds a very dear spot in Nate & my hearts.  This is where we met, this is where we dated, this is where our lives began.  This is where I moved away from home for the first time to.  This is where I really grew up into the person I decided to be.  Provo means so much to me and to Nate.  We went to Provo several times because we just couldn't stay away.  

We took Jaxton & Cooper to hike the Y on the mountain.  They were very excited about this.  It's been years since Nate and I had done it.  Jaxton purposefully packed his hiking backpack to take up the Y mountain.  It was a steep trail, and the kids got tired, but they kept going.  We totally missed the trail going to the bottom of the Y, and we went all the way up to the tip top of the Y.  We sat up there for a few minutes looking out at the valley.  It was beautiful.  We got up there before the sun came shining over the mountain, so we hiked in the shade all the way up and most of the way down.  What an accomplishment.  

We also took the kids to the CougarEat of course just for memories sake and to show the kids where they would be eating lunch someday when they came here for college.  We got everyone some BYU shirts and a sticker for our car to sport our favorite college.  

Nate and I drove around provo on memory lane, showing the kids were we used to live, we took them around campus showing them the business building, the math building, the english building, and the library where he and I had our first class together.  Nate and I also stopped at Mama Chu's Mexican restaurant, our own favorite place in Orem to eat.  The same owner and the same waitresses were still there serving us.  The owner even remembered us!  That was pretty awesome!  

Cassidy, our niece was moving into her apartment in Provo, so we stopped to see her new place and spent some time with her as she was getting accustomed to her new surroundings.  We love Provo.  Such a fun place!
