A 'too quick' trip to Utah & Idaho

Our good friend Paige Mecum was getting married on the 18th of April and we just couldn't miss it.  So we packed  up and took a quick trip to SLC.  We left on the evening of Thursday the 16th and  the night in  Boise, then headed the rest of the way to SLC on Friday the 17th.  LeGrand, Lytiz and I stayed the night with the Belchers & had a fabulous time catching up, we miss not seeing our good friends more often.

Laex & Loa got to spend the night at the Dillons where it's always a party.  They had a blast!

Saturday we stopped quickly and said hi to the Holleys in Lindon then on to the wedding in Orem.  We showed up and surprised Paige who didn't know we were coming.  It was so great to be there and see so many old friends!

We only got to stick around for a short time then we were on our way for a surprise visit to Grace!!

It was SO fun to surprise our awesome Johnson friends in Grace.  I had previously arranged to stay with Norm and Nina & they had Laura, Nick and the kids over when we showed up.  It was such a nice visit and time catching up.  We got to spend Sunday in Grace and visit the ward, it was just like being home :)  Our time came to an end way too quickly!

On Monday morning we took Laexin to visit Thatcher school, all the kids were SO excited to see him.  I had to hold back tears.  It was such a great visit and once again we said our goodbyes and were back on the road to home.

We arrived back in Vancouver around 8:30 pm, it was a long trip for a short amount of time but we were so glad we took the opportunity and got to see so many great friends!
