gardner family: Our Weekend In Utah

Bonnie and LeeAnn took a trip to Utah to attend the wedding of Ben Jackson (our nephew, cousin) to Shara Richards. We flew into Salt Lake City, rented a car and decided to do some sightseeing in SLC before heading to Provo. We first went to temple square. I love the feeling of temple square. It has such a peaceful, friendly atmosphere. I don't care how many times I have been there, it is still exciting each time we visit. After lunch we drove east to "This is the Place" Monument and Heritage Park. We were enjoying the train ride at Heritage Park, when LeeAnn looked back at the end of the train and saw her cousin Trent. It was our Durfee cousins from Mesa! We were surprised to see them. We spent the next hour touring the village with them.

The rest of our trip included a family reunion dinner at Harold & Verla's house in Provo where we gathered with the Jackson family. Andrew & Linda were there from Tennessee. It was their son getting married, and graduating from BYU, I might add. Both Ben and Shara graduated from BYU on Friday in the morning, then got married in the late afternoon. The next day was the wedding in the Bountiful temple. It was a beautiful wedding. We took tons of pictures, but we won't post them all here. We also got to see my Dad, who is still doing great at 96. The rest of the time we hung out with Le & Marlene in Spanish Fork. They make great hosts. Thanks Le & Marlene for putting us up.
