Another Visit from the Ferrell and Maxfield Families

After a great Summer of seeing all of my family members here in Utah two of my sisters decided to come back for more.  Christin and Emily, along with their spouses and kids, decided to come to Utah for Fall break.  On Saturday we all got together at Ryan's parent's condo in Provo and Ryan, Andy, and I went to BYU's homecoming game against San Diego State.  It has been a few years since I have been to a game and it was great to see them win.

As I was looking around at everyone at the game I loved seeing the little kids with their fathers, and mothers, and although I am not a huge football fan, I think it would be fun to take little Drew and any other kids that might come along to the games.

While we were at the game all the girls and kids went up to campus to walk around, go to the bookstore, and get some ice cream at the creamery.  Once the game was over and we all returned to the condo we spent some time talking and then we made the trip home with a little stop at Michelle's parent's house to see some of her siblings.  Most of the rest of the week my sister's spent time with other family members and friends.  On Wednesday we all met together at Temple Square to check out the church art history museum and then to walk around the Temple. When we first entered the grounds some sister missionaries stopped us and asked if we wanted to see a video presentation about the Family Proclamation and we agreed.  After the video we went and saw the Cristus statue and got a picture of all of the kids in front of Jesus.

That was followed by a visit to the other visitor center to look at the scaled model of the Salt Lake Temple.  It was a very good replica and all of the little explanation videos were great.

After leaving Temple Square we headed to the dog park by our house and played while we waited for our Costco pizza to be ready.  To finish the evening we went back to our place to have pizza, cookies, and ice cream.  Christin and her family were leaving the next day and Emily would be following soon after.  We wish we would have had more time to visit with them, but we will see them in November for Thanksgiving.
