Ryan applied to Utah State last fall all by himself without any help from Delwyn or me and he got accepted! Britta has been dying for Ryan to come and visit and see what college life is all about and he has been wanting to see the campus. He has a four day weekend for President's Day, so this is the perfect time!
He flew to Salt Lake Friday morning and arrived at noon. Denya picked him up and took him to lunch while they waited for Britta to finish her class and drive to the airport. They packed a lot into one short weekend! Rock climbing, bowling, game nights, Buffalo Wild Wings, and of course Aggie ice cream!
They also made Valentines for a rest home! How thoughtful!
Britta snowboarded a few times in Colorado, and she is going a lot in Utah. There are a couple of ski resorts that are only a short drive from Logan compared to the hour and a half that it takes to get to one in Colorado. Her friend Derick taught snowboarding lessons before his mission and he has taught Britta quite a few things about how to improve.
Ryan has never been skiing or snowboarding and was so excited to try it.
Derick gave him some quick lessons and he caught on pretty quickly even though everyone falls quite a few times at first.
Getting the hang of it.
Three happy snowboarders headed up for another run down the mountain. Ryan said snowboarding was his favorite thing of what they did while he was there.
Heading to church.
Ryan had a super fun time! He was impressed with how welcoming and friendly everyone was. Even though they didn't know him, they still talked to him and wanted him on their team to play games. We better watch out, he's going to want to move up there next week!
