Potluck

This is a post where I dump a bunch of photos that don't make up a post on their own but deserve to be noted. We spent a total of a month in Provo. We rented a house through Air B & B, and sadly, I didn't get a picture of the house.  I meant to take one, but then I would get busy and obviously forget. The house was built in the 1920s, I think, and so I guess that would make the home a bungalow.  The house was super cute and ideally located in the center of town.  While we were in Utah, we were able to visit with our son Harris, who flew in from San Francisco on two different occasions, and we were able to visit with our son Winston, who is currently living there while he attends university.  My mom, who drove with us out there, stayed till the 5th of July, and then Frank flew in on the 9th after coming home from Germany.  He drove with us back home.  While in Utah, we really got to live the quintessential Utah summer.  It was wonderful.  We didn't have a chance to get to see everything we wanted, but we made a good dent. This means we will definitely go back.  We really tried to create a balance between relaxing and adventuring.  One thing that Roman did while he was there was go to this boxing studio in Payson.  His coach is up and running for the next summer Olympics.  He also bought himself a summer pass to the rec center and worked out multiple times during the week with his dad and brothers.  Utah, for sure, is creating a special place in our hearts.  Georgia is still number 1, but Utah is fantastic in the summer.  While there, we also saw many of our friends, which was a lot of fun.  

One of our many trips to Blaze Pizza.  The children love it because they can create their own pizza. Took the girls to see Barbie.  Not at all what I expected.  It is not a movie for kids but more of a dialogue about women's place in the world. While I have nothing against discussing this subject, it was a little hard for the girls to understand what was happening.  The movie tried to smoosh too much into one movie, leaving me lost and confused, and I am an adult.  The girls still said they liked it.

   Spent an afternoon at the local splash pad. Followed by ice cream at Penguins.

I wanted to go swimming in Lake Utah, but I discovered that there was no beach.
