A Fun Morning

After the temple we went to dinner and then headed to our good friends house, the Butlers. They were in our ward in California. The moved up to Utah about four years ago. We had a nice visit with them over the week-end. On our way home on Monday we decided to go to This Is The Place monument/park. I've heard that it's a really fun place for the kids. What a great place. The kids did have a blast. There was a lot to see and do. Unfortunately we didn't get to see or do everything. It is interesting to have the kids experience some of the things the pioneers did way back when. I just can't imagine! One cool thing...we got to see Elder L. Tom Perry. He was there with his family. We were wanting to go over and talk to him, but thought better of it. It was neat to see an apostle!


Just arriving. The kids looking at the monument.


Joshua ironing.


Emma scrubbing the laundry...thank goodness for washers!


Caleb ironing. He really enjoyed the laundry stuff.


Scott having a go at washing. Jessica was happy to show him how it was done!

Caleb riding a horse. Such a happy boy!


Emma loving her horse. The saddle kept slipping to the side though.


Joshua looking not so comfortable. He loved riding though.

The gang outside one of the cabins. A family with ten kids lived in this....so small!
