Utah Trip for UVU and BYU Game

As soon as Katie's game against Chiawana was over, Kirt and Garret headed off for Utah. (We took 2 cars to the game, and Katie and I drove back to Spokane after her game).  They drove to Mountain Home that night and spent the night.  They got up Saturday morning and drove the rest of the way to Utah.  They got to UVU just in time for the UVU vs Grand Canyon basketball game.  They got to talk to the coaches and a tour of the facilities after the game.  After that they went on a tour of Provo. They went to the Provo City Temple, past the 1st house that Kirt and I bought, and to BYU campus.  Then they went to the BYU vs Gonzaga game.  BYU is ranked 23rd and Gonzaga is ranked number 2.  BYU beat Gonzaga 91-78.  It was a huge upset.  The crowd stormed the floor at the end of the game.  Garret had decided that he could cheer for BYU so he was excited that they won.  (He has decided that GU is going to cream BYU in the WCC tournament though.)  After the game they stayed the night at Joel Peterson's house in Saratoga Springs.  They drove home Sunday.  It was a huge adventure.
