July 4th Weekend

Kenny and I got a bug to get out of Dodge for the weekend. We left Thursday night (July 3) and headed up to Logan. We spent the night at the Anniversary Inn. We woke up and thought it would be fun to go to Bear Lake and go golfing. When we got to Bear Lake, the golf course didn't have any openings so we went further North to Montpelier, ID. We spent the afternoon golfing and had quite the time. It was Katie's first time on a golf course, and it showed! On the way home, we stopped in Paris, ID and visited the historic tabernacle. What a beautiful building with amazing craftsmanship! If you get a chance you should go check it out!

We came home Friday night (July 4) just in time to catch the Stadium of Fire fireworks over at the park. Great fireworks this year!

The next morning (July 5) we decided to get on the motorcycle and drive down to Manti and go to the temple. The ride was nice - not too hot! We arrived at a little bed and breakfast, changed, grabbed some lunch, and headed to the temple. It was a very memorable experience! After the session, we were able to see the famous spiral stairways. Then we spent about a half hour talking with the temple workers listening to the stories they knew about the Manti temple being built. It was fun and very educational.



We had a lazy Sunday morning but finally decided to head home. We drove through Moroni and on through the Nebo loop. It was a beautiful day and the view was lovely.



Our July 4 holiday weekend was one we will never forget!
