AuntT

This is Aunt Tay...

 She recently got called to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to the Figi, Suva Mission.  It's gonna look something like this...I know...we are jealous too!

 Aunt T and Brig have become really close in the past couple months. She is pretty fun!

 So Brig, Ellie & I tagged along with my parents and Sydney to drop Taylor off at the MTC.  We wanted to make it a trip so we stopped at the "This is the Place" Park in Salt Lake. 

 We got to ride a train and go for a tour of the old town.

 Brig thought it was pretty fun...but I think he would have had this happy look on his face no matter what we did- he is quite spoiled with love by his aunts.

 And he got to ride a horse! He was so brave...and so was mom;) just teasing...

 Papa made friends with the pot belly pigs...they followed him around the petting zoo!

 There were lots of animals to see and pet.

 It was really nice to spend so much time with her before she left.

 Brig fed the animals some "big hay."

 Aunt T is so much fun! We are really going to miss her!

 We said our teary-eyed goodbyes in the hotel that morning so when we went to drop her off- we took some pictures and gave more hugs- but there weren't any tears! It was a happy time that Taylor has preparing for for a long time.

 She is such a great example to us and is going to be an incredible missionary!

 And there she goes...

 One last hoorah! We love you Taylor- see you in 18 months!

As we drove away Brig said..."I go on my mission right now!"

He is getting ready and excited thanks to the example of so many family members...
