Well, since there was a request for info from me I thought I would oblige.  We headed out of Cedar City this morning and drove toward Salt Lake City.  My Mother was excited to be headed toward Provo because it is the "birthplace" of scrapbooking.  We pulled into Provo a little after lunch and she was excited to find Provo Crafts.  As she went in search of scrapbooking supplies Quinn and the boys and I went to the visitor center only to learn what my Mother had probably found out .... there is no headquarters for Provo Crafts in Provo.  Well, she was directed to another major scrapbooking store called "Pebbles in your Pocket".  My Dad and David found a waterfall attraction north in Orem and called us to meet them.  It was call Bridal Veil Falls.

Bridal Veil Falls

It was very pretty and the 3 boys had a good time in the freezing cold water.  There were people climbing the rock to get to the falls themselves.

Dad left to pick Mom up and then we traveled a little farther north to Sandy.  We were intending to spend 2 nights here but since we will leave here for the Grand Tetons we decided to get another hotel farter north so we will miss rush hour traffic. 
  While we were in Provo and Orem Quinn was on the lookout for anything Osmond for his sister Tracy.  We were unable to track them down and the nice lady at the Visitor Center said that most of them had moved to Branson, Missouri.
  Tonight we met up with friends of my parents.  It was good for them to catch up and they were able to suggest that we tour a Copper mine tomorrow.  We hope to go with them in the morning.  Then we will head north to Park City to see the Olympic pavillion.  We might even get to go bobsledding.
  They boys are being so good traveling in the car so much.  They have been quiet and cooperative for the most part.  Something very hard to do for little boys on a long car ride.
Blessings from Utah,
