Salt Lake City

Whew!! Man o Man getting home from 2 weeks of living out of a suitcase really leaves a lot to do when you get back! After filling our fridge with all things good from Farmer's Market and doing a bazillion loads of laundry... I am finally getting some time to do a few things that I want to do :)
So here are some pictures from all the things we were up to in Utah....

Here we are outside the stage entrance to Capitol Theater
And here's the 1st of many trips to Chuck-o-Rama.. it was right across from our Hotel and the kids loved it... At least someone did :)
Here's Lee taking down the competition during a saltines eating contest :) that's my boy!

Eden became best buddies with the Alston's kids... I guess its because her fake mom was their real mom, so they were kinda siblings.
On Sunday we had a fireside in Orem for all the Young Adults. On the way over Eden was super bored, so she took pictures of herself. NiceEach morning we hung out with the Alstons and went around doing the SLC basics. Here's the kids at the Church Historical Museum. Eden was super excited to see a real handcart and John Taylor's pocket watch that saved his life. :)
One of the next days we went to This is the Place Monument and Pioneer Village. I highly recommend the Porter Pounder. One of the best hamburgers I have ever had. Or maybe I was just really hungry?
After this is the place we went to the Cemetery where many of the Prophets are buried. It was sweet to pay tribute to a wonderful Prophet President Hinkley.I wanted to take a picture of Eden and all her friends in SLC , so I approched them as they were laying out in the shade. Eden was crossing her arms and I asked her not to for the picture. She said... "But mom, I'm just thinkin about what Jesus whould be thinkin about if he were here." So Sweet!
Here we are after a performance in the lobby at Capitol Theater. Did I mention it was beautiful.... the theater... not my husband with a beard! I might have resorted to calling him Beardo the Weirdo and withheld certain privileges until he shaved. ;)

And every night the band played in the lobby after performances. One of my favorite times was dancing with Eden and the little girlies. Here's Eden with her "fake sister" Olivia. We were dancing a chicken dance to " My old red Hen" one of our favorites.
So If you had patiences enough to look through all my pictures, I wanted to let everyone know about tickets. you can purchase them online at the Mesa Arts Center's website or at 1856themusical.com

TICKETS ARE 1/2 PRICE ON ALL SATURDAYS PERFORMANCES. THAT'S THIS WEEKEND ONLY. JUST LET THE TICKET HANDLER KNOW YOU WANT THE CAST AND CREW DISCOUNT. SHOWS ARE AT 2PM AND 7PM.
It really is an awesome show that brings the spirit and strengthens your appreciation for our early members of the Church as it teaches of the sacrifices of the Willie and Martin Handcart Company. Hope to see ya there! Once you go you will want everyone to go see it too!
