Our Sanpete Adventures

While home in Sanpete, we had the opportunity to go to the Mormon Miracle Pageant performed on Temple Hill. If you have not been, you really should go. It is AMAZING. My family has been apart of the cast for years now. And although it is performed each year, and we go each year, there's always something new to learn or to realize. I love it. It strengthens my testimony that much more. Here are a few pictures:

We were able to go up again on June 29th because the next day was my grandparents 50th anniversary. They are such amazing example to me. I hope that someday Ray and I can follow in their footsteps and share our 50th anniversary with each other and have our whole family surround us. We had over 100 people in attendance - everyone of them making up their posterity. We had this blessed event at the Heritage park in Salt Lake. It was a pretty long drive, but it wasn't too bad, seeing how we slept most of the way. It was so gorgeous. Mady had such a fun time with the little kids park they had. Here's a few pictures of the fun things they had:At the park they had a little village of old pioneer houses, it was so fun to go around and walk into some of the houses. This church was one of my favorites: There was also this gorgeous orchard with a cute fence. My mom took some pictures for us, I felt like we were taking engagement pictures again. Ray looked amazing. I fell in love with him all over again.





This is one of my favorites:

We also got to spend the 4th of July with my family. We spent the day in Manti having fun with all the festivities that were going on. We got to ride the train:We rode some horses, which Mady loved:We did an egg toss - which got all over me:We then went back to my grandparents house to eat some delicious food and wait for the parade to start. While we waited, we played some cards:And slept:
After eating a delicious meal, my mom took the kids and Mady to the parade.

When it was late enough, we headed over to Temple hill to watch the fireworks. I was surprised at how well Mady took the loud noises. She loved it. The next day we celebrated mine and Ray's birthday's by going to Palisades and eating some yummy cakes!

My parents gave us some awesome gifts! Ray got a lot of his favorite snacks along with $100. I was given some cake decorating supplies, $100 snacks, and a wonderful surprise - My American Girl Doll, Molly. All brand new. When I was baptized, my grandmother gave me Molly. She has had a hard life, so it was quite a surprise when my Mom gave her to me all brand new. She will be kept safe to pass down to my daughter. Overall it was such a great trip. We loved spending time with my family and enjoying the fun things Sanpete has to offer. Thanks for letting us come stay! We love you!
