We had most of the kids here for Thanksgiving dinner, on the Friday after. We stuffed ourselves with turkey, dressing, garlic mashed potatoes, gravy, and all the trimmings. Of course, there was lots of pumpkin and apple pie to top it all off. We decided to go on a 4 wheeler ride east of here. We went to a place near here called Montezuma's Caves. In the 1940's or so...someone discovered clues to the famous Montezuma's lost treasure, and decided that it was here. Most of the men and boys of Kanab, and around abouts, went digging and tunneling through the limestone mountain to find the treasure. They set up a tent town out there, and Kanab was governed (for 3 or so years) by a totally female city government. The treasure was never found, but that mountain has a honeycomb of tunnels where they searched. It is interesting to see, and we have been there a few times before. I don't like caves, so I was a 'party pooper' and waited for everyone to go explore. Mandi was working so we had Ry and Saige too. After the tunnel tour, we stopped to have a picnic...and it snowed on us! It was very cold. The thunder was rolling too, as it was snowing. Strange but fun!
