Shlepn Seven: Laura & Jordan's Utah Extravaganza:) Part I

Nothing like an epic trip out west to help us recover from the rigors of pioneer life. Not 24 hours after returning (with a suburban full of ticks) to civilization, we were headed off to BeeWee to catch our flight to SLC. On the way we swung by the Maryland Cruise Port to pick up the honeymooners who had the absolute time of their lives on their trip. MK was in heaven sitting with them on the plane. Not only was our flight early getting into SL, we taxied to our gate in under a minute and our 9 pieces of luggage were among the first off the carousel. It was awesome. Trek tick number one was found on Bruce's collar just before we had lunch at Wendy's on our way down to Lynndyl. L&J came with us and stayed the night after dinner at G-Ma and G-Pa Nielson's. They also got to pick out a quilt that G-ma and her sisters made for them.

All in all a good travel day. We spent the next day helping the love boids build their nest. Tom was especially helpful wearing the hot dog hat G-ma gave him.

After finding the landlord's house for the key to their place we coincidentally ran into 3 of Jordan's friends

at Sonic, where we were having lunch, who helped us move. After watching L&J open a bunch of wedding gifts we helped them get stuff cleaned up and organized.

Then we went to Cafe Rio for dinner where we ran into the same three guys who helped us move. Another co-inka-dink to say the least.
Let us now pause for a moment of silence as we reflect upon our post supper pilgrimage to the Jimmer Shrine, AKA home of the Jimmer Head,

AKA Tom's apartment where he surprised MK with her very own autographed BYU hoops shirt. She couldn't talk him out of the ball.

On Tuesday we hung out in Lynndyl and went on a nice long walk that morning.

Before we ate at hogi yogi in downtown Delta for a late lunch/early dinner I found trek tick number two on my leg. UGH! Tom came down and we played Uno with Grandma and it was hilarious. The two of them later had an epic game of monopoly that lasted a couple of hours. Tom loves his grandmas, that's for sure.

On Wednesday we headed back north and spent the afternoon with Nathan in Ogden. We ate at a Mexican restaurant that had the best salsa but the entrees weren’t so great.
