Salt Lake City Goodbyes

After a wonderful week with the Bytheways, sadly, it was time to say goodbye.

Sam and Ashley

The kids always have fun bringing little thank you gift for them.  We brought water balloons for the boys, jewelry for the girls.

Andrew

Matthew

Bethany


Lots of love going around


Natalie

I love this lady!  She makes my heart smile!!!



Nathan, Matthew and Drew

Drew, John and Laney

Kim made this beautiful nest necklace for me and wrote this sweet poem to go with it.  It made me teary!  I can't believe how soon my kids are going to start leaving my nest!

Kim and John, thank you for your hospitality and love and thanks to your parents too.  We are truly blessed to have such great friends!!!

This was the last night in our hotel.  We only got one room with two queen beds and a little love seat, so this is how the kids slept.  I remembered hearing that this was how the pioneers did it so we gave it a try.  We rotated who slept on the love seat.  It worked out great.  No complaints.  

We packed up the next morning and picked up Ashley to take with Sam, Josh and Tim to "Especially for Youth" at BYU in Provo for the week.
