For the last part of our trip we journeyed to Manti, Utah to see
Wayne's family. The temple is always a highlight of our trip but this year
they have completed the park on the opposite side of the road and put in a reflecting pool. It is very cool and makes for another great
picturesque spot.
Usually when we see Wayne's mom and dad we are able
to stay longer but this year we had to get a lot done
in a short amount of time.
But we did have time for some of our favorite activities like...
...helping Dad with the chickens...
...gathering eggs...
...and helping in the garden.
I helped by picking the bell peppers and then mom and I
cut them up and froze they so she can use them later.

One of the peppers had grown around the stock of the plant
so when I picked it, it was extremely bumpy.
Then when we turned it upside down we decided that
it looked like a frog!!!
Mom was going to save it as long as she could so she could
show it off....it was really funny.
Wayne and Dad cut out dead branches from out
of their apple tree and hauled them away.
(sorry no pictures)
And while they were busy with that, Dad asked if I
could sort through some of their pictures.
Fortunately, I found this adorable picture
of Kathy (Wayne's littlest sister) with Jennifer.
Kathy must be about 15 and Jennifer looks about 2.
So adorable!!!
Our other project that took most of our time,
was helping Matthew purchase a car.
We were extremely blessed by finding a great little
Honda, Civic. The owner had just put the car in the paper
that morning and it was such a great buy that we just
snatched it right up.
It looks brand new from the pictures but it is actually
7 years old and has 85,000 miles on it.
They had taken really good care of it so we felt
it was the perfect car for our buddy.
But of course after we had taken care of all the paperwork,
he had to leave to go back to school. And we had to
leave and come back home...
But we had a great trip and loved seeing everyone.
Catch you again next year!!!
