Manti Pageant

On Thursday June 27, 2013 the kids were able to go to the Manti Pageant. It was tons of fun. We took our blanket, and were able to lie on the hill side and enjoy the pageant. We left Orem WAY too early, and so we stopped in Ephraim for some pizza, and drinks. After we arrived in Manti and placed our blanket in the best spot, we walked around the small city, and looked at the different booths. We got some slushies, cotton candy, and plenty of water to drink. It was nice to be back in Manti, as this was my temple as a youth, and re-kindle some amazing memories. The temple was re-dedicated when I was 8, and I can remember the white handkerchiefs, and touring the temple. Brooklynn and Malia weren’t able to stay awake for the entire show, but they tried their best! A lot has changed with the pageant over the past 20 years, but the feelings and thoughts remained the same. It was a great day!!

The next morning the kids were going to get up early to go swimming.....

So much for that idea!  Jeffrey woke up a little after 9:00 am, Malia and Brooklynn woke up after 10:00 am
