Just a quick post to let you know the adventures of last night. It was AWESOME. We did, in fact, go to the Hill Cumorah Pageant in the rain. We figured we would rather deal with a few sprinkles on Friday than huge crowds on Saturday. We have very few pics because I didn't want to ruin our camera but it was really amazing.
For those readers who are not familiar with our faith the Hill Cumorah Pageant is a depiction of some of the scenes from The Book of Mormon, a companion scripture to the Bible. which tells of Jesus Christ's ministry to the people in the ancient Americas. It was a very moving and powerful experience. I'm so glad we came. I had seen it when I was younger but this was the first time for Dan and the kids, great times.
I do have to mention that the kids were super despite the rain...we were such a circus...we had a few umbrellas but no raincoats. Dan just stopped in for some hefty bags...that's right, we're so white trash we bring our own bags. Aaron put one on for a minute then started to cry and said "Mommy, I don't want to be a trash can!" He opted to just get wet. We're off for some sight seeing, great times. Miss everyone, have a great day!
p.s. Yes, in one photo you see Aaron's splint on his finger...I accidentally shut it in a door and I'm pretty sure I broke it. Mother of the year. At least I packed a good first aid kit.
As we said at WVU, it ain't a party till someone gets hurt! BTW, Amy you actually may be mother of the year. Juggling 4 1/2 kids (the half being...well, you know) travelling all over the country, showing them things they'll remember for a lifetime... A busted digit is nothing. Heck, I only count all my broken toes and fingers as 1 break in my count of 42 broken bones.... if I counted each one, each time, I'd be in the 60's. boys break fingers...it's what we do. Game on!
ReplyDeleteI work with a guy that drove all the way from Utah to be in the pageant. I was hoping you had a picture of him (he grew a crazy beard over the last year for it as well)
