Utah Day 4 and 5

We finished up wedding weekend with a brunch on Sunday morning at the hotel.  It was the last time we got to see the bride and groom before they left on their honeymoon to Barcelona!  The pancakes were the best I've ever eaten, and made up for the two sprigs of lettuce at the wedding! 

 Alec and I at the brunch.  At this point we were OVER having to dress up every 5 minutes!!

 Love my mother-in-law! 

 Courtney and I brightened up the brunch :)

After the brunch we headed back to the place that the alpine slide was at and did the mountain coaster.  Walker cried and did not want to get on, but then LOVED it when it was over!  

 I rode with Clay.  This was about halfway up the mountain!

 They took you up the mountain and then you basically coasted (fast) back down.  It was so much fun!

 Courtney and Alec!

Grant's Utah family are mostly all of the Mormon faith.  Since Salt Lake is the home to the international headquarters, they took us downtown and showed us around the Mormon temple.  It was very educational and very pretty to look at!

 Courtney and I being tourists!

 Part of our group on the roof of the convention center where they hold their yearly meetings.  They made the roof look like a garden.  Very pretty! After our tour we headed back to one of the cousin's houses and had dinner and headed to bed!

The next morning Courtney left to head back to Maryland and we headed up the road to one of the popular ski resorts.  We rode the tram to the top of one of the mountains to take in the views.  The only other tram like this one is in the Swiss Alps!  The views were awesome!  We were so high it was freezing, and there was still a little snow on the tops of the mountains.






That night everyone came over to Grant's cousin Ashley's house for a grill out and games before we had to hop back on the plane the next morning and head back to Kentucky!  We had a great visit with his family, but I was ready to get back to my bed and to Grant!  I did absolutely love Salt Lake City and all the mountain views everywhere you looked.  The city was so clean and didn't seem as crowded as the big cities here in the south.  Grant's cousins were great hosts and we are already planning another reunion trip in Kentucky soon!

Thanks for a great trip Utah and congrats John and Suzy!!
