Mormon Miracle Pageant

I love the Mormon Miracle Pageant!  The summer after my junior year in high school a couple of my friends and I decided to be in it.  Of course we didn't want to be the boring angels so we were the exciting wicked lamanite dancers.  Thank goodness for the brown make up which was more like paint.  It's the only time I have looked really tan.  It was such a great experience.  I took the kids down to see it last year for the first time since they were really little.  It ended up raining on us the whole time.  It was cold and miserable.  So when I saw that the weather was going to be better this year I decided we needed to go again.  We had so much fun walking around, eating BBQ turkey, seeing and talking to old friends, Becca and Devin having discussions with the protesters, coloring, playing Old Maid and of course watching the pageant.  It was such a fun day!  Thank goodness for the Diet Coke that helped us make it home and kept me up until 4:30.
