Breakout at the MTC

For FHE on Monday, August 27th - we went to visit Mom and Dad at the MTC! We got a sneak preview of what we'll see in a few short months when Alex goes. It was a great fieldtrip. We felt a little criminal busting Mom and Dad out for dinner with us at the Brick Oven - but we found out that the Senior Missionaries... don't have the same rules as the Elders.. I wonder why??? :) This was actually our second visit - so for the SL Tanners, we've hardly had time to miss them yet! Can you believe they are already serving the 2nd week of their mission? We've also made 2 visits to the creamery.. Kenyon and I have both gained 5 pounds since Mom and Dad left a week ago!

There was such a great spirit on the MTC campus and Mom and Dad shared lots of great stories with us about all that they are doing and learning. They have such a spirit about them right now! They are studying every night and reading together more than they ever have. They both seem to be enjoying every moment. Don't worry - we got them back by their 10:00 p.m. cerfew - so they haven't kicked 'em out yet!

It's fun to go visit them - and will be even more fun when we can visit them on the beaches of the Carribean!

As you can see - Kenyon and Alex fit right in with the dress code at the MTC...

Thanks for the update. We are jealous you are close enough to go bust them out. I love reading your blog.

I sure Alex learned some very important lessons that he'll now be able to take with him to the MTC, like which doors have the least amount of security, fastest route to/from the Creamry, etc...
