My little sister, Paige, was in town for a soccer camp, EFY, and a visit with her big sisters. We had a fun few days spending time with family, camping, going to the Pioneer Day Pageant in Nephi, etc. Since none of us had ever been inside Timpanogos caves, we decided to make the hike on Monday morning. The scenery was beautiful and we enjoyed the sisterly bonding. The caves were cold, but the formations were intriguing - it's amazing how malleable rock can be over time. After the hike, the girls day out continued with a trip to Smokehouse for some barbecue and pizza and then on to the cinema to see Mama Mia. Thanks, Bethany and Paige, for the great day!

A few pictures from the Pioneer Day Pageant in Nephi. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Kent and Aunt Jan for inviting us and for the hamburgers! It was an excellent production and it really helped us appreciate our pioneer ancestry and the sacrifices they made for their faith.

Bethany in front of the Caramel Falls rock formation. It's supposed to look like an ice cream sundae, but it doesn't look very appetizing to me.

We made it! Paige, Andrea and Bethany inside Timpanogos Caves. It was cold, but definitely a worthwhile excursion!
