Recently Scott and I celebrated 26 years of marriage. We have discovered that we really enjoy celebrating our anniversary BY OURSELVES. So we left on Friday morning and came back Saturday evening while our second son took care of the younger children at home.
The first thing we did was go to the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival. Since our anniversary is always during the festival we have gone many times. But I enjoy it every time. A camera shop had the genius idea of setting up a tent right next to the entrance and renting out their expensive cameras for free to anyone who wanted to. The idea is you try out a good camera and see what great pictures you can take and then you buy one! We have not bought the camera yet but it was pretty nice to use and helped us realize all the shortcomings of the cameras we currently own.
Here are some pictures:
Our next stop was the Logan Temple. We had never been in it before so we did a session. That night we stayed at the historic Providence Inn also known as the Old Rock Church. It was built as a church almost 150 years ago and sold about the time I was born. It's remarkable that it's still functioning at all. We enjoyed the stay and I would go back.
On Saturday morning we drove up Logan Canyon and then ended up doing a hike at the Cave of the Wind. It was very pleasant and perfect weather and a good hike length. Someday maybe we'll go back with our children.
We did a little shopping that afternoon and then ended up being home right when we said we would, because we are such responsible adults! It was very fun and we decided we should get away by ourselves more often than once a year.

| This is from the Light of the World section of the gardens. There are all kinds of scenes portraying Christ in this area. |

| I guess the sun was a little bright... |

| I just love these colors all mixed together--a visual feast. |
