One Day in Provo

After the Grand Canyon, we were home for 2 days before heading out on another adventure. We realized that we could squeeze in a trip to Alpine with only 1.5 days off work for Aaron. We found some pretty cheap Allegiant Air flights to Provo. I absolutely adore the Alpine family reunion and was so glad that I got to go this year! As an added bonus, we got to spend a day with Max in Provo!

Annie was a HUGE fan of the safety information brochure. 

I LOVED walking around BYU campus and seeing the new buildings going up. I kind of wish we had walked up to the 3rd floor of the Clyde to check to see if our much used microwave was still there.

Max took us to the Bean Museum, the new life sciences building, and part of the library so that he could take me on a tour of his office while Elliot and Aaron hung out in the new playground that they built in the library. Max's office is pretty sweet, complete with a nap couch! He is a media specialist for the library, which means that occasionally a professor or department will want him to film or edit something for them, but it sounds like he mostly gets to use their equipment for his own projects. It is a pretty sweet gig.

Elliot was unwilling to stick his head in for the photo op

Next stop was Bam Bams BBQ for dinner

This was around the time that he confessed to eating popsicles instead of drinking water whenever he gets thirsty

The final entertainment for the evening was mentos and diet coke rockets with some of Max's friends

Watching from a not entirely safe distance

We had a blast with Max. I love going back to visit Provo, and would have been happy to walk around campus all day. But there were further adventures to be had!
