Mystic Hot Springs, The Freemont Indain State Park, and the Manti Pageant

This year for our summer vacation we have deiced to stay here and check out the beautiful state we live in. There is so many cool things here that I have either have never have heard of or have been to. Randy found on line about Mystic hot springs.  Click here to check it out.http://www.mystichotsprings.com/index.html


 So we packed up the car and hit the road. We stopped in Richfield for lunch and we ate at JB's.  Clay order the Salad Bar. My boys love vegetables so I was surprised he order it. But we he came back with his salad he had more beets on his plate then anything else. What 10 year old likes BEETS. Well mine does. You can't really tell from the picture.




After lunch Monroe here we come. We missed the turn off sign and ended up driving up the canyon They canyon was so beautiful.

We turned back around and found the turn off and checked in. We stayed in a refurbished  pioneer cabin.

Then we put our swimming suites on and we up to the hot springs. It was so nice the view and the temperature of the water. It was just wonderful. Randy and I soaked in the tubs for a little bit then went and joined the boys in the pool. They loved it.

They we went and ate dinner and went to the club house for the evening show. Performing that night was Trevor Green and he is really good. I enjoyed the performance.

I can't get the video of playing off of u-tube so check out the link. I like the first song the best. In the second one the is a violist that plays this cool viola.

After the show we went back to the springs before bed. They were so much hotter at night then the day so we didn't stay as long.

The moon was awesome so this is my attempt at trying yo catch it.

They we went to bed. The next morning we slept till 10:00am. We couldn't sleep any longer because it just got to hot in the cabin. We ate breakfast and we headed off the the Fremont Indian State Park.

Have you ever seen a Blooming Cactus in the wild I hadn't tell now.

This is a model of the types of house the lived in.

It was 15 degrees cool inside which was really nice.

100 Hands Cave

Lunch time.

Then it was off to the Manti Pageant.

It was good as always.

There is wally the protester, but they were pretty peaceful and then there were these two guys making fun of the protesters it was really funny.

Then pictures with the cast.

While waiting for it to stay we played Phase 10 and while playing Tyler was playing with his loose tooth and ended up some how turning it 190 degrees and getting it stuck behind another tooth which was really painful. The picture aren't the greatest but if you look really close you can kind of tell and look and the big tears on his check.

The Manti Temple as it was turning dark.

We made it home in an 1 1/2. That is the fastest I have ever made it home, and yes I obeyed all traffic laws. I didn't even drive the speed limit most of the time because I got behind so slow drivers which almost drove me mad.

I love this Beautiful State we live in and can't wait to discover even more of it.

Tyler's 8th Bithday Party

For Tyler's 8th Birthday Party we went to Classic Skating. We invited 15 of his friends but only 4 came. I was worried that know one would come since we went bring them. I don't have a car big enough. But Tyler had tons of fun with the friends that did come.

Kyle, Nico, Tyler, Brenner, and Cameron.

They didn't skate so they sat on the edge of the rink and yelled at Tyler the whole time. Plus Tito had just broken his arm and hadn't seen the doctor yet. He ended up having to have surgery to fix it.

Tyler wanted a 3 head dragon cake. Uncle Kevin and Aunt Carrie always do a get job. Kevin some how was able to spray silly string and whip cream out of the dragons mouth. It was really cool.

Tyler’s Baptism Invitation

 

Happy Birthday Tyler

I can't believe that my baby is turning 8. It doesn't seem that long a go that I brought him home from the hospital. He was always such a good baby.

He loves Halloween and this is my favorite costume, which was made by my mom. I think he loves Halloween because he loves treats. He is always asking if he can have a treat, and it is right after he has eaten and before his next meal. He loves treats.

He loves to be a goofball and play around. He loves to take Randy's hat and run off with it.

He loves sports. His favorite is Football. But right now he is playing Baseball, and he is a good little player.

Tyler loves his older brother Clay and always wants to follow in his brothers footsteps. They are such good friends and I love seeing them get along and loving each other.

He loves playing with is UNCLES and COUSINS.

He loves to play games. Any type of game, and he is really good too. He can play games for hours.

He has turned into a HANDSOME young man and I am so glad that I get to be his mom. I love that he still loves to give me hugs and kisses. I'm happy that he has chosen to be baptized and can't wait for that day. He is a JOY to be around and I love to see that smile of his.

I LOVE YOU!!!!!
