Manti Temple Pageant

Kelsi and I went to the Mormon Miracle Temple Pageant
in Manti Utah with Faith and Kyle.
We knew that Manti was famous for
growing, processing and selling turkeys. 
While we were driving we saw lots of barns that we thought had turkeys growing in them. 
We were so excited to see this barn open
and the turkeys spilling out.
Look at this mountain closely.....
yes that's a M for Manti and Michelle!
Soon all these chairs will be filled with people like us who come to Manti for just these 2 weeks to see the pageant. 
I don't know this lady but she had the right idea so I had to take her families picture. 
 She dressed her kids in their pj's. 
The pageant does not even start until 9:30. 
If I had gone with small children I would have done the same thing.
I love this picture of the temple with American flags in front of it.  Kelsi and Kyle are walking in. 
We found the best place to park just across the street
and in an older couple's yard. 
 It was very close and we were
the second car out of the pageant!
With the clouds around us and the wind blowing
we settled in for a great show. 
By the time the pageant started we experienced our own 'miracle' and the wind stopped blowing and the clouds were gone.
Luckily we took blankets and coats.
 We needed them.
We got the greatest seats...on the end and on the 2nd row.
Thanks for sharing the pageant with us and
 taking us Faith and Kyle.
We had the best time.
