Flaming Gorge

This year over Labor Day weekend we went to my great aunt and uncles cabin in Manila (near Flaming Gorge). We had a blast! My mom and dad and Grandma Dot were also there.

In the town of Manila (where the cabin is), they have a fun little parade on Labor Day. I can't believe how much candy we received from this tiny little parade!!




After the parade, we go around the little town and look at all the "yard sales" everyone has. Sometimes you can get some fun stuff at these! Then they had a little "carnival" thing. Ok.. so it was just a little playground and you could buy hot dogs, drinks and cotton candy. The girls LOVED the cotton candy part! Messy.. Messy.. Messy!




We also love to watch the boat show they have every year. Some years it is almost as good as Disneyland's Electric Parade! =) Ok.. so maybe not that good.. but it was pretty impressive! Then after the boat show we watch the fantastic firework show they have!





On the last day we were in Manila, we just went for a little car ride. As we were driving, we saw these long horn sheep just grazing in a field! It was pretty amazing. This is just one of the small groups of them we saw.  Then afterwards, we went for a little walk and saw some Kokanee Salmon fish spawning. I guess they only do it at this time of the year and we were able to see this. Pretty awesome!






Lauren

Lauren loves to do little shows with her stuffed animals. She loves to arrange them on her bed and then either sing to them or perform for them. It is so fun to watch her little personality coming out. I'm so lucky to be her mommy!
