Manti

Our ‘actor’ family – Bryce, Tomica, Tyler & Marianne

(Sorry about the eyes – they don’t really glow )

This morning we left my cousin’s home and drove to Manti to spend time with our son Dan and his family.  They moved to Manti in August and live right across the street from the beautiful Manti Temple.     All three of our grandchildren, Tyler, Bryce, Marianne, and our daughter in law, Tomica, are in the temple pageant. They  took us on a tour of the city of Manti (about 2 square miles), then we had lunch at a little out of the way family owned restaurant which probably had the best food of any place we have eaten on our whole trip.  Geez.

We also visited a historical site which showed how early settlers lived in Sanpete County

  

The pageant started at 9:30 in the evening.  Before the pageant there were protestors all over the place.  You know, I don’t understand that.  Yes, they have a right to protest, but what is the point?  We are not bothering them and there are other more important things to protest about (if you feel so inclined).

The protestors.

  Guess we must have something that they are concerned about . . . hummmmm

Enjoying the temple view

Yep, our grandchildren were in the pageant. Danny with two of our grandchildren and a friend
