First, I wanted to wish a belated father's day to all the guys reading this. We had a fabulous fathers day weekend. On Friday, Travis took the day off and we spent the day with my family. We first went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. It was a beautiful day, and it was really fun to see the temple with my family. Everyone was able to come but my brother and his family since they have a brand new baby. 
My parents are very knowledgable about church stuff, so it was fun to hear the things they had to say about everything there. After our tour we had lunch, then hurried off to the Manti pageant. I was afraid it would be a really long drive for poor Cyrus, but he'd gotten the majority of his energy out at t
he temple and after filling up at lunch, he was exhausted and slept the entire way there. The pageant is always really fun. We had lots of treats and played games while we were waiting. We drove home late that night after it was over. Trav and I were in the front (he's a bit more of an aggressive driver than everyone else
, ha ha) and we saw so many deer in the canyon we were afraid someone might hit one behind us. As it turns out, my parents and grandma made it all the way to bountiful before a deer ran into them on the freeway! I couldn't believe it. He ran into the side of the blazer, but besides scaring the crap out of my mom and grandma, all he left behind was a little blood where he bounced off! My dad didn't even wake up!

Then on Saturday we had planned on the grandkids taking my dad out on a date for fathers day. Its always hard to shop for him, and he absolutely loved spending the day with all the kids. We went to the zoo, and if you remember it rained most of the day, but we still had a blast. Cyrus was enchanted with the monkeys. He laughed and laughed as they ran around in front of him. It was really fun to spend so much time with my family!
