Utah Trip Day 3

Dear Journal,

10:05am-
Last night, we drove through the city to a small mountain like thing. We climbed the trail up to the top. It was so pretty, and hard work gettin up there. I was outta breath.

When we were at the top, we could see all of Salt Lake City, the Salt Lake itself, and other mountains. There was a few mountains, that were the rock kind, with snow on top!! First time I've seen one of them in real life. Before that, the only mountains I had seen in real life, where the ones covered and trees, that look more like a big hill. But this was a beautiful view, but the wind was blowing coldly!!

Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Luke and Adam went back down, and me and dad stayed up there a little longer until it got darker. I started to call Zoe, (it was 9:30 where we were) then I realized that it was an hour later at her house, so I called my grandparents back home. Then me and Dad walked back down and talked about...stuff. I don't remember, lol.

We're about to go out again, so TTYL!
-10:19am (I'll post on this post later, when I have more to write *wink*)


Almost noon- We're in the Family History Library (FHL) right now waiting for grandpa to get outta the bathroom. Grandma is giving us a tour of the 5 - story building.

Next, we go to the musem. Then come back to the FHL to do FH (family history) research. I'm going to look for Mammaw's (my dad's mom) dad. Dad's going to look for Poppa (my dad's dad) info. Grandpa's back, so TTYL!! - a few minutes lata

A Little later- Me and Adam keep taking the stairs and getting ahead. Right now, we're WAAAY ahead of them. We were' on the 2nd floor (everyone else is on the 3rd floor), and they haven't even gotten TO the elevator yet!! Their here now, so TTYL! - 2 minutes lata

2:08pm - We spent a long time researching family information. I was looking for Mammaw's dad (Morris), but never could find anything :(

I looked at a R (can't tell you the name, because it's my g-ma's maiden name, and I don't need to put last names on here) micro film. That was col. I loved to roll the thingie to move the "paper" or film, whatever it's called. I found a RFM (once again, can't say the R last name) newsletter. It was cool. The issue that I looked at was in 1980, so Morris was already dead by then. :(

On the way out, a small old lady asked me, "Isn't it fun, spending the daaaay with your grandmaa and grandpaa?" She freaked me out. She had this huge fake looking smile, and wide eyes, and talked to me as if I didn't speak or understand English. Weeeirdddd..... <-- copy of the way the lady talked.

Now we're in the SUV going back to the apartment to eat lunch. TTYL! - 2:23PM


Luv,
Sarah the Equine and Canine luvr
