Vacation, Day 3

Monday morning in Provo started off late (for us anyway). Bri had to work from 8-5 and Greg went to work early in the morning but was back by about 8. Our first activity was to take the scooters and have lunch at the BYU Creamery. We picked up Bri from the hospital that she works at and rode over there.


It was a delicious lunch!
In Utah, there is no helmet law so I didn't wear a helmet (we were just on scooters Dad!) but it was crazy to see people on motorcycles with no helmets. That was a little too dangerous for me.
After lunch we dropped Bri back at work and headed to the Provo temple. It was closed but we stopped to look anyways.


Right across the street from the temple is the MTC. Greg, Scott and I went there to volunteer in the Teaching Resource Center in Spanish. The coordinators assign you to a room that resembles a living room and then you act as though you are investigators. The missionaries come to your door and you talk to them in Spanish about yourselves, there are different roles that you play for each companionship (you are smokers and the missionaries tracted into you; you are recently baptized and the missionaries are following up with you; etc.). It was a very spiritual experience. We worked through 4 companionships and then it was time to get going.


This a statue of missionaries on bicycles at the MTC. Scott remembered it and wanted a picture.
That evening we took our dinner of hotdogs and smores to a park near a river and had a campfire.


We were almost eaten alive by mosquitos, but it was a lot of fun.


Scott and Greg showed off their roasting skills.


I showed off my marshmallow muffin making skills (ie lack of roasting skills).


Bri and I chatted most of the time, we also sang some of our favorite old songs with the iHome...Scott and Greg asked for encore after encore ;)
It was the perfect ending to a fun filled adventure with our friends.

We had a great time in Provo. Thanks for letting us visit you guys Greg and Bri! We loved every minute of it!
