Snow Rider

My parents surprised us with a snowmobiling trip at Strawberry Lodge. A great time was had by all!

Buying gloves

 We just bought "ninja" masks so we were feeling a little violent. :)

Trying to find gear that fit.

a-MAIZE-ing!

 Both of my sisters were home on the same weekend so we all decided to go to the Corn MAiZE! The kids never stopped moving the whole time we were there. They were exhausted for the rest of the night!

Excuse my squinty eyes, dang sun!

Tuacahn Part 2!

We made it back to Tuacahn to see The Little Mermaid. We made it through the whole show! Woot woot! Still recommending that anyone who has the chance to go should do it!

Pretty much we had too much fun!!

Cove Fort

On our way back to Tuacahn we stopped at Cove Fort. If you haven't been before Cove Fort is well.. a fort. It was built by President Hinkley's grandfather after being asked by Brigham Young. It was used as a "pit stop" for people travelling, especially saints.

In the blacksmith shop there are some "handcuffs" for horses. To keep people from stealing their horses at night they would put these cuffs on the horses. These let them walk but they couldn't run.

This picture is of my dad and Ryan trying to get the cuffs undone. They did finally do it.

 Cove Fort was actually re-purchased by the church in 1994. The Hinkley family put together donations, bought it and then donated it to the church.

In the picture we are looking at the plaque of donators.
