Seymour Family Vacation

My family was driving up to Bear Lake for their vacation this summer and they were nice enough to stop by in Provo for a few days to visit Ja and I. We tried to fit in as many activities as we could. We went to the BYU Creamery to get lunch and ice cream and walked around BYU bookstore. Kenny bought a big blue wig because our high school colors are also blue.
The next day we went to Timponogos Cave. The cave was really fun.
There was a wait to get to the cave so we decided to walk around the camp grounds around the cave. Ja loved looking at his map as you can see, and Kenny and Jill were just having a great time.


To get to the cave you have to hike up a steep hill about 1 1/4 miles. I took some pictures along the way. Luckily, it wasn't too hot because of the high elevation. My dad, Kenny, Jill, and Ja flew up the hill and me and my mom took our time walking up. The cave isn't going anywhere right? The inside of the cave was amazing, it takes millions and millions of years to form all of the cool stalagmites. One employee worked at the cave for 50 years and never saw any difference in one stalagmite what was really close to touching the floor. The whole cave is covered in these deposits that are formed from dripping water and millions of years.


The walk down the hill was a lot easier and more fun to do. Once again the kids ran down the hill because they could go really fast. After the cave we went to one of our favorite places to eat, Costa Vida.
That night we went to Salt Lake to visit Temple Square because Jill hadn't walked around the temple before. We also went to a wedding reception of my mom's cousin's daughter. We had never meet anyone there before but we went to make my mom happy, and they had a chocolate fountain so we were pretty happy too.
On Sunday my family went to church with us and ate a good Sunday roast beef. After dinner they drove off to Bear Lake.
