Manti Pageant

For several weeks my friend Cassie and I had been planning on attending the Mormon Miracle Pageant in Manti, UT on the 14th.  Cassie has a great network of friends so I told her to put out the feelers and invite whoever may want to go and we would have a good ol' time and that we did.

We left at 4:30 and drove to Manti in my rockin' rental car.  I drove so we were putting miles on a rental car and not someone personal vehicle AND because I like to be the one driving. (I don't know why but when I'm with friends I like to be the one behind the wheel...kinda weird, I know) We got to Manti about 6:30 and at at Miller's Drive-in and Donut Shop.  The food was good but the company was better.  There were 11 of us and we sat there and laughed for a couple of hours. Then we went and got a funnel cake...YUMMY!  I love carnival and fair food and I'm certain that funnel cake is the ultimate!  I need to figure out the recipe so I can make them at home for parties.

I always giggle about the protesters at these Church events.  One man had a sign that said "Abortion is Murder"...I really wanted to walk up to him and say "WELL DUH!" but I didn't.  There were also a bunch of women with signs around their necks that had Joseph Smith's Wife #1-30 (I think, I wasn't paying that close of attention to that) and "ask me about my life".  I always wonder to myself... do these people really have nothing better to do than hate something they just don't understand.  Oh well, I am just grateful that I know the truth.

I have a couple of pictures that I took of friends and the temple while in Manti that I will post once I have them downloaded from my camera.

Until next time...
