Weekend in Provo

On Friday morning we drove down to visit Thomas, Melissa, and Macey in Provo. Gavin's not very fond of being stuck in his car seat (especially for long periods of time), but we made it.

That evening we drove up Spanish Fork Canyon and went to Melissa's ward camp out. Gavin was in rock heaven. We had a fun evening with the exception of Gavin falling and busting his lip on the cement. But luckily, not too long after, he was back playing in the rocks again. Once it got dark, they got a campfire going, and Melissa tried out a popcorn popper she recently acquired. The first time the popcorn got a little burnt and continued to get more burnt as she tried to figure out what to put the popcorn in. The second attempt was much better, but she poured it in a plastic bag. Needless to say, the bag melted and she lost part of her popcorn. We ended the night with s'mores, and headed back to Melissa's apartment.

Saturday morning Ben and I took Gavin to go visit a few of our good friends from our BYU married ward. We visited with Eric, Meg, and their little boy Scotty and with Adam, Martha, and their little girl Marian. We walked over to the duck pond at the edge of BYU campus, and Gavin loved it! He thought it was hilarious to throw bread to the ducks.

Saturday afternoon was a little birthday party for Macey over in the O'dells' backyard. She turns 1 on Wednesday! We were able to see some the Indiana people that are in the Provo area. We were able to visit with Sarah, Ty, and Andie, Marc and Jasmine, Ben and Chrissi, and Katie.
Macey loved the icing on her cupcake, and the big cupcake cake I helped Melissa decorate earlier that afternoon turned out AMAZING!

After a quick stop at a fast restaurant, we headed for home. We got in late, and slept as long as we could before we had to be ready for church at 9. We woke Gavin up 10 minutes before it was time to leave! It was a busy and tiring weekend, but we had a blast and enjoyed visiting with everyone. We wish we could make it down more often.
