Another one rides the bus

At the beginning of the summer we made a list of fun adventures we wanted to do this summer. I'm happy to say that we actually did a lot of them. (It wasn't a huge list.) Our last week of summer we took our annual (only we haven't done it for the past 2 years) bus ride down to visit Dad at BYU. It's amazing how exotic public transportation can be for kids who ride around in a mini-van most of their life. I've also simplified the process by driving to the University Mall (which is where we would have to transfer anyway), parking, and riding the bus from there. The ride from there is just long enough to be exciting, but not TOO long that it takes more than half our day just to get there and back.

We had a good visit with Dad and the various office secretaries who give candy to our kids and then ate lunch at the new and improved Cougareat. A great last-week-of-summer outing.
Here is Spencer pretending to be asleep.
Climbing on the rocks at BYU. For all those who haven't been to campus in a while this is a new feature on the grassy hill south of where DT (Deseret Towers) used to be. (Yes, again for those of you who haven't been to BYU in a while: DT is GONE!) The old canal that used to run along campus drive under the Bell Tower has been covered up and landscaped with a nicer looking (and shallower) stream. This waterfall is the headwaters of that stream. I'm sure this is the site of many campus engagement photos.

DT! My old home! Oh well, rocks are nice too. How cool to ride the bus for an adventure. How cool to eat at the Cougareat.

Amy, I can't find your email address anywhere (my server erased all my info in the spring) so would you email it to me so that I can add you to my blog?
