Enterprise!

My boys playing frisbee









We spent the weekend in Enterprise! Mike's family was having a reunion on Terry's Ranch. It was really fun and thanks to Mike's parents and the aunts and uncles for putting it on! There was a dutch oven dinner, singing and glow sticks on Friday night. Saturday, we missed breakfast (because we stayed in St. George), but got there in time for the games. There was a bounce house which was Brandon's favorite and the horse ride which was the girl's favorite! The girls waiting in line for a good hour to ride. When it was Sydney's turn, the horse needed a rest! She was so brave. You could see in her eyes that she wanted to cry, but she was a big girl and waited patiently for another hour. She was first up when they brought the horse out again. Brenda, Carla and Lisa put on 'Fear Factor' in which Mike and Amanda participated. The water game turned into a small water fight with Mike and his cousins. Pickle eating contest which Mike did, but didn't try to win because someone's kid was eating them like those hot dog eating champions! A kid's race that Amanda did and came in 3rd place! We were so proud of her. It went up a steep dirt hill and she did awesome! Amanda and Maddie participated in the egg toss and almost won, until Amanda tossed a little too far for Maddie to catch. There was a huge pavilion, bathrooms, and huge lawn area. Some families brought tents and slept overnight.





We also stopped by Mountain Meadow and saw the new monument there.
On the way home, just outside of Nephi, traffic on the freeway came to a standstill! My normally law-abiding hubby made a decision to follow some cars in a u-turn and drive back to the frontage road. We had Sydney in the backseat needing a bathroom asap! We did get to see the Young Living Family Farms which was kind of fun since we always notice their signs on our trips to St. George. When we got to the freeway entrance just north of Mona, the freeway just opened again, so we cruised to get back on the freeway and to the nearest gas station! Fun weekend!
