Mandi and Ronnie's Family

Kari drove us to Mandi's house.  We enjoyed a delicious lunch and conversation.  Then Nels, the babies and I took a nap.  We were exhausted because the babies kept waking up in the night.  They weren't used to the pack and plays and being in a different place.  So we slept for a bit during the day.  

We played with the babies.  

Brianna and Kira.  Isn't Kira's facial expression hilarious!?  

 Brianna, Kira and Ethan.

I took some other pictures, but they didn't turn out very well. :(

Mandi made chicken artichoke chicken.  It was soooo good.  She pampered us the whole time we were there.

The next morning we went to BYU!  I asked Nels before the trip what was one thing he absolutely wanted to do...and it was to go to BYU and buy shirts.  So that's what we did.  My sister Melissa let us borrow her car.  When we arrived, there was NO parking!  We found out that it was education week.  So we had to park at the stadium and take a shuttle to the bookstore.  Mandi and her four kids, plus our family and two strollers filled up one shuttle. :)

Brianna at the stadium while we waited for the shuttle.

 Kira took a little nap while we waited.

 There's the library in the distance.  Many memories there.  :)

 The gang walking into the bookstore.

 Here we all are.  Left to right.  Nels, Brianna, Mandi, Ethan, Kyson, Teaghan and the twins are in the stroller.

 Me and Nels on the stairs.  We have a soft spot for stairs since that is where Nels asked for my phone number.  :)  Not these specific stairs.  We didn't have the energy to go to the Tanner building to reminisce.

 Waiting for the shuttle.  Love this picture.

 One arm picture.

 The Y Mountain.

 We all went to Sub Zero Ice cream.  What a treat.  I saw them on Shark Tank pitching their business.  The guy who owns it was actually at this store.  I ended up talking to him and asked about his experience on Shark Tank.  He seemed pretty nice.

 Silly Nels.

 And the verdict.  Yummy!

Thank you Mandi's family for an adventurous day and helping us accomplish our goal!  We love you!!!
