5 months... holy moly

it has been 5 months since colby has been to manit. what an overdue trip. we both had to work the day after thanksgiving but luckily i we both got off early around 2. so we packed up the car and headed down to manti. we got there at about 6, which was great timing, traffic was not bad which was great. the first night we just hung out with my mom and dad. everyone was pretty tired, so we just chatted. saturday morning we woke up and got ready and picked up my sister Teddi Sue. no one knew where we were going, we were just driving. we headed towards richfeild stopped and got a snack then my dad just started driving again. we took colby to BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN. i love that place. we got him some big rock candy. then we headed to somewhere then we were in another place and then in another town. i cant remember any of the names but each town had like 5 houses in them. we had fun laughing at things we saw in each town and memories and stories that my dad told us. we started getting hungry so we headed back to richfield to eat some lunch. after lunch we went to home depot. no one wanted to get anything just look around. but as we were wandering in i happened to notice a very nice grill for a very nice price. so i had to hurry and grab colby. he has been talking about buying one for a while but we were going to wait until next summer. but this price was just too good to let go. so we bought it! we were both so excited. we got like $300 dollars off. after home depot we headed to walmart. we shopped a little bit there then we headed for home. we bought four christmases. i love that movie. and we all watched it. then went to bed. sunday morning we got up and went to church with my mom and dad. then my sister katy and her kids came down to eat dinner and hang out. we had some yummy steaks. and lots of other good food. then we all brought our guns out to shoot. we had so many guns everyone brought their own plus an extra. we had funny goofing off shooting around. my nephew bam had his bb gun and he was would walk on his tippy toes up to the pop cans he was shooting like it was a animal he had just shot it was pretty funny. it got pretty cold so we headed back home to play some games. they boys then went looking for deer while the girls stayed and chatted. we had so much fun with them. we always have fun when we go to manti. we wish everyone lived a little bit closer so we could have fun more often.

monday morning we headed back home we left pretty early so we could go on our annual christmas tree hunt.....

i had to put this picture on here. we were following this truck on the way to richfield and we loved the saying. this is just one of the funny things we saw on this trip. thanks again mom and dad for letting us come and stay.
