We have been busy having fun. Summer has officially arrived and the weather has been wonderful. Also, Hema's last day of work this summer is tomorrow, which means lots of fun family activities are coming up! I love this picture that I took on Sunday with my dad and the kids. My dad is such a great grandpa! The kids can't get enough of him or the farm!!
On Wednesday we headed down to Manti for the Mormon Miracle Pageant. The Manti temple is so pretty.
We thought it would be nice to go when it wasn't a weekend and super crazy, we were right! It was so much fun! We set up out tent in the Manti City Park for $5. It was within walking distance of everything and really quite clean. They have tons of big trees that kept the tent nice and cool.
And right outside the tent door was this playground. The kids had a blast. The bathrooms were nice and clean too! We will definitely camp there again.
We headed over to the church in Manti for the famous turkey dinner. It really was yummy! 
We got to the pageant early and the kids played with these foam swords and acted out the Nephite Lamanite wars!
By the time the pageant started at 9:30, we had the kids in their jammies and Vela fell asleep in the first few minutes.
Hema stayed up for most of it and loved it! He thought the wars and the fires were the best parts. They have really changed it up since the last time we went, which was maybe 10 years ago or so.
This is the monument by the temple honoring the founding pioneer families. There are about 10 names with *'s by them which are the true founders. One is my relative Abraham Daniel Washburn. He is the 1st or 2nd generation of being a member of the church on my Washburn side.

The kids were excited and really had fun.
We went with my parents, Jason, Brandi, Hunter Halle, Jacob, Abby, JJ, Isaac and Leah. We sit right in the front near the bucking shoots and it is incredible to see the animals right there.
These pictures aren't great because the rodeo was too exciting to keep posing for photos!
Here's a shot of a bull.
Jake and his family - Tyra was home with Abe.
Vela cheered and danced the whole time!
It was fun to get together with some of the family and a great night at the rodeo!
