Utah Trip

I went to Utah to attend Grandpa Hadley's funeral. I didn't take many pictures surrounding the funeral services, but I snapped a few at the graveside because I was really touched by the military funeral honors:

These pictures of the Doug and Diane Ellsworth family were taken after the funeral luncheon, along with Uncle Bert and Aunt Gay (center), who came from Mississippi to attend the services:

After the funeral we hiked Ensign Peak:

Twinners!

(Great view! And this is only partway up the mountain. You can kind of see Al, Nor, and Anna in the bottom left corner there.)

From the top

You can see the State Capitol in between me and Nori. We're blocking Temple Square, I think.

These pictures are out of order, but before the funeral services, we drove to Ogden Canyon to see the beautiful fall colors. We snapped a few quick pictures at the newly renovated (well, in 2014) Ogden Temple since it was on the way. (I got to do a session there with Mom and Dad the day before.) :)

I wasn't particularly bright and didn't bring a jacket with me on my trip. (In my defense, it's still really hot in Texas.) Al was a champ and let me wear hers all weekend long since she was a smartie and packed two.

And this last group of pictures we took on Friday night. It was BYU's homecoming, so we wanted to go watch the football game. We started out at Chili's, where we ordered four waters and a pizookie to share, and then someone in our party came up with the brilliant idea to go bar hopping. After Chili's we ordered four waters and a molten lava cake at Applebee's, then we got (you guessed it) four waters and cheesecake bites at Buffalo Wild Wings. (Chili's and Applebee's had better food and service, but B-Dubs had the best TVs, in case you were wondering. Also in case you were wondering,... If you want to sit at the bar, be sure to bring your ID.) It was a memorable evening. P.S. BYU lost to Boise State big time.

Next night we got half-priced pastries from Kneaders (tarts and domes). Yum!
