Summer #3

Manti Pageant
June 2009
It had been a long time since Ben or I had been to the Manti Pageant. I thought that the kids were probably old enough now to appreciate it and be able to sit through the whole thing. We invited my parents and Allan, and Allan brought his girlfriend Cami, to come with us. It was a good experience--rain, throughout the pageant, kids falling asleep, the baby not wanting to fall asleep, more rain, and people slipping down the massive hill at the temple because the grass was so wet. Courtlyne stayed awake and she seemed to enjoy the entire pageant.
I think it is magnificent to see the pioneer story portrayed alongside the stories from the Book of Mormon. It makes it all come to life. I realize how blessed we are to live now and have all the things that we have to make life easier. The Church is true. And I know the feelings felt during the pageant truly testify to me that Jesus Christ is our Savior.

Allan and Cami - thanks for keeping us company!

I haven't been to the manti pageant forever. The Castle Valley pageant is the one to see--it is in the next couple of weekends.

We talked about going this year, and never did.
Looks like lots of fun this summer for you guys!
I can't believe your baby is getting too big.

Every year we say we are going to go and we haven't yet! You'll have to kick me if we don't go next year! Brent has even had a lot of cousins in the pageant. Looks like you have had a great summer!
