On the Road Again....

                               .....just can"t wait to get on the road again... yes, a classic song by none other than the legendary Willie Nelson. Yet unbeknownst to many, it's the exact tune my parents, notably my mother, would sing every time our family headed out on a road trip. Now I have the pleasure of tormenting my kids with this same tune..... but I can't help it because we're On the road again... 

Manti Pageant Trip June 17-19, 2011

Our travels with take us north to the cabin and then up the 89 highway to Manti, Utah. We also have invited our friends, the Stewart's to join us on our adventure. We stopped along the way to view the Sevier River running by Big Rock Candy Mountain.

Erica, Jaime, Lauren, Megan, Jace and Dayne

Jason and Duff

Eventually we made it to our destination-Manti. I love this temple; the architecture, the way it sit upon the hill, and the small town that surrounds it.

We walked through the town, had dinner and came across this stone water fountain that never ceases to offer you a refreshing sip of water.

Lauren got herself a tasty scone..... which I hope was the best scone ever since it took 30 minutes in line to get!

Dayne and Jace got themselves a treat as well...

As dusk fell upon us, we ate our treats and waited for The Mormon Miracle Pageant to begin.

What a great production! To be there under the canopy of the stars watching this historical drama unfold before our eyes. Though the weather was cold and we were wrapped in blankets, I couldn't help but have a warm feeling inside. Though it was late when the play ended, we drove an hour and a half back to the cabin.

The next day we tried our hand at fishing and saw some sights

Dayne and Jace drove around the go-cart

and then we ditched the kids and went to the Garden House for dinner followed by a stroll around downtown Cedar City to a quaint little place called the Pastry Pub for some much deserved dessert.

Thanks Stewart's for joining us! We had a great weekend!!
