Adventure Week-Wednesday

Wednesday we decided that we would drive somewhere. We didn't know where, just somewhere. So we headed south...towards Mapleton, Payson and Salem. This is one of our favorite things to do, drive somewhere unexpected and admire the many beautiful areas of Utah. It just so happened that Jake's ancestors are all buried in the Mapleton cemetery. So we stopped and took a few pictures. The sprinklers just happened to be on and we had to time our pictures just right so we didn't get soaked! haha! If you look closely you can see that Jake's shirt is really wet! While driving we found this Arabian temple right in the middle of the valley. So random! Margaret, we could say this is Jasmine's castle! Right here in Utah!!!
In Payson we decided we needed to find a snow shack. It was hot and we were thirsty! So we stopped at this place, the "Snow-To-Go." We walked up to the window and asked if they took cards, of course they didn't. So I walked back to the car to get the check book. On my walk back to the charming little shack I found two dollars!!! They were old and crinkled and looked like they had been sitting in the sun for days. Jake and I decided that they didn't belong to anyone and so we bought our snow cones with the two dollars! We just laughed and laughed when we got back in the car and we now call that our "Snow-To-Go Miracle!"

Southern Utah valley is beautiful! And if you ever need a delicious snow cone we definitely recomment the "Snow-To-Go" in downtown Payson. And who knows? You might find yourself in the middle of an adventurous miracle!
