Visit to Utah!

We had the great opportunity a few weeks ago to make a quick weekend trip to Utah.  
We had a wonderful time at the BYU Museum of Art which was featuring the watercolors of French artist James Tissot.  On display was 124 depictions of the life of Christ.  It was a wonderful exhibit and we had a great time with my Mom there.  We were so impressed we bought a book that contains over 300 of Mr. Tissot's watercolors!  Here's Marcie T and Mom T at the entrance of the museum.

In the entrance of the museum was this very interesting art display hanging from the ceiling.  I gave it a quick glance and moved on - but Marcie T noticed what it was made of.  I couldn't believe it when she exclaimed - "this is made of hangers!" 
On our way from the museum we made a quick stop to see our niece Ashley's little girl, Jayne.  Ashley and Corey are wonderful parents and we were delighted to spend a few minutes with them and their little one!
That weekend was my 40th high school reunion.  Here we are with the mascot of  my alma mater, American Fork High School - the "Caveman".  The graduating class of 1970 had 215 students - 75 were in attendance that night.  We had a wonderful night - the evening started at 6:30 pm and we didn't get back to Mom's place until 10:30 - reminded her of the good old days waiting up for her kids.
We took a group photo before the evening began and here's just a small sample of the 75 attendees.
Here's a picture of some of the old American Fork 4th ward "youth"!
We enjoyed a wonderful Sabbath day together.  We were glad to attended the meetings - in Sunday school we talked about ideas to help us prepare for General Conference.  We had a wonderful time visiting with Mom and appreciate her love and hospitality.
