Garry and Heidi were planning on leaving Thursday, but Heidi found out that her great aunt had died and that her grandparents from Idaho were coming down to the funeral. They wanted to have the chance to visit her Dixon grandparents so they decided to stay another day. They were planning on going to Salt Lake later that day but we had the morning to do more things. We visited the Bean Museum on campus. The boys really enjoyed seeing all the animals. I think Grandma Great did also.
In the middle of the museum, they had the largest elephant that I've ever seen in my life. I was amazed at the size of the beast.
Gavin loved to touch everything he could.
At noon, Duane mom and I had planned on meeting with some current and also retired BYU employees for lunch. This is a monthly event, but we rarely get to join in. We went to McGraths seafood restaurant in Orem. It was a nice event. After lunch Garry and Heidi and family went to Salt Lake to visit Heidi's grandparents and then Duane, mom and I went to the temple. Provo Temple is such a nice temple. I love to go there. When the Bartle family returned from Salt Lake they had plenty to do to get ready to leave the next morning. Heidi did laundry, packing, and all the things that needed to be done to get ready to make the long trip home. Friday arrived and everyone was up and hustling to leave. The Bartle van was filled to capacity with children, stroller, crib, TV and lots of suitcases and other stuff. I know that they were very glad to pull into their driveway 11 hours later. Duane, mom and I also were also glad to get back home, but we won't forget the fun times we had together. Thanks everyone for making the effort to be together and making fun memories.
