The Mormon Miracle Pageant

It's pretty much become a tradition each summer for Justin and I to go to the Manti Pageant. (We have gone every year- sometimes more than once a year- since we started dating.) We just really love going- it's such a fun summer activity. And what better place can you think to spend some time than sitting on the grass in front of one of our beautiful temples? And, of course, it's always fun to eat at Fred's Sports Grill, walk around the quaint little town of Manti, and (this year) purchase a stick of wonderfully yummy chocolate covered strawberries!

So, on Saturday, June 25th we headed out to Manti with my cousin Kyla and her husband, Dallas, who joined us this year, which made our night just that much more fun. We got there quite a few hours early and just talked together and played Catch Phrase. Lots of laughs were shared and it was so much fun to hang out with and get to know Dallas and Kyla better as a couple, since we don't get a chance to do that very often. Thanks Dallas and Kyla for making our night so enjoyable! (Dallas took the absolutely amazing panoramic picture of the temple that is at the top of this post. I am so in love with it! I can't believe that his phone could take such a great picture! I wish I could have made it bigger so that you could really see how great it is, but I don't know how...?)

Keaton was a little fussy all day Saturday, (I think the heat has been getting to him lately...) which made me a little nervous for what would happen during the pageant, but all in all he was a pretty good boy. :) It was a lot of fun to be together as a little family.
