adventures around our town

So we had the kids for about 4 days this last weekend and LOVED it! We went exploring....A few days before they came we took the motorcycle out to the skull valley road (we've never been that way) And really wanted to stop and see some sights BUT 1. we were basically out of gas 2. we were on the motorcycle and couldn't go on gravel roads 3. very dark clouds were among us, so we came back with the kids a few days later. I don't think they enjoyed it as much as we did. There were millions of mosquitoes and most of them were sworming Dave....but Dave and I still wanted to see the sights so we walked around a bit and took in a bit of history....ready, set.......GO!
 This is the place the Tongans came after Joseph Fielding Smith converted them to the gospel. It is mainly just a cemetery (way sad some of the stones) and a big outdoor meeting place, we haven't discovered where they used to live.... It might be over the hill or something if anything is left of it..... but it was amazing...this is right down the way from our town.

















 This is down the road a bit. It's called Horseshoe Springs. It was SO beautiful there! I want to go back when there aren't as many mosquitoes!
