We love Logan!


We loved staying in Logan for a week.  It was especially fun to stay on campus at the hotel.  We basically took over the student center ever night and played games there.  We also loved eating in the cafeteria!  Good food, and Aggie Ice Cream every night.

One day we decided to head up to Preson, Idaho to track down Napoleon.  The kids thought it was the best adventure ever.



 My very smart children decided that Kneaders was the best place in the world to eat lunch.  We are so glad that Mark had his camera with us one day and took these very flattering shots of us eating...




 Zack was so happy to lose two teeth on our trip.  Both of them from corn on the cob!
 The kids loved ice blocking on Old Main.  We got 2 blocks of ice, and they spent the next hour sliding down the hill and them climbing back up.  Over and over and over.






We visited the Logan temple grounds.  It is such a beautiful building.  It always amazes me to see what beautiful buildings the pioneers were able to construct using such primitive tools!
 I love my Savvy.
 Savvy splashed Zack with some water from the fountain, and I love Zack's expression in this picture.

It was so strange to have only 4 kids with us as we went around town.  Jacob stayed home to work, and so once Aubrey moved into her dorm, it was just 6 of us!
 As we were staying 9 nights in the hotel, Savanna unpacked and moved right in.
 Noah is pretty dang cute.




 Sav and Joel found a chess game at the local mall.

 Hotel living is pretty fun.
 The bookstore has enough ipad minis for everyone to enjoy.
 We took a trip to Lagoon one day, and Zack was a trooper.  He went on every ride and loved it.  It was a completely empty day at Lagoon, and so the kids went on soooo many rides.  Finally, around 6:00, one last trip on Colossus was one ride too many.  I saw the look on his face (above) and rushed over to the shrub bed.  He puked.  And puked.  And puked.  And then he puked 4 more times before we got in the car.  And once in the car.  And twice while we were stopped at Kneaders in Layton for dinner.  He slept the whole way to Logan after that, and when we got back to the hotel, he was as good as new.
 Zack is always interested in the leaves and plants.
 The kids liked playing in this fountain/waterfall on campus.
 It was sad to leave Aubrey, but really not too sad.  She is at an awesome university, and she loves it.  We miss her terribly, but she is just a phone call or text away.  I am thrilled that she is away at college and doing just what she should be doing with her life!
