Manti pageant 2009





For some reason I got it into my head that I just had to go see the Manti pageant this year. The Manti pageant is quite a tradition for Michael and I -- Mike because he was in it all through his youth, and me because I always saw it when I went to Snow. But neither of us have seen the pageant since our Snow College days.

So this year I invited Dad and Jan, along with Zion Carlie and Abbie. We drove down in a torrential rain storm, sure the pageant would be canceled. But just when we came out of the canyon into Sanpete county the rain cleared and we were welcomed by the most beautiful rainbow.
After a traditional Sanpete dinner of BBQ turkey, we met up with Mike's folks at the temple grounds. The pageant was really nice. I don't remember it being quite that cheesy, but it had it's moments when the spirit was really strong. And of course, the temple was beautiful.

We were just talking to our girls about the pageant the other day. I have so many good memories of performing in it with my friends and family! I would love for my girls to see it again now that they are older!
