but over the weekend Ben & I had the chance to go up to Roy and see our good friends Mike & Sam. They have 2 little girls. We had fun spending some time with them! We had our motorcycle so we went over to Huntsville from Roy and stopped at the Monastery, we went to buy some honey because the monks sell it in their little store but they were at lunch so the store wasn't open. Well they were in doing a prayer chant when were there so we were able to sneak into the chapel and catch the end of it. It was really interesting to watch. As we were driving up, we noticed that there were a lot of cars and there for a lot of people. A lady explained to us that over the winter because of all the snow fall one the buildings at the monastery collapsed because of the weight of the snow. There was about 150 volunteers from the community there helping tear down the building and helping to build another one. It was a really neat experience to see just a short glimpse of their life style. There are very dedicated people.
After leaving the Monastery, we made our way over to Morgan and over East Canyon and down through Emigration Canyon to home. It was fun just to have a quick get away and ride.

Fun! I've always wanted to go to that monastery, but haven't made it.
This sounds like a wonderful day, I have always wanted to visit the monastery. Love the picture of Eliza!
I need to visit the monastery. I think that you were watching Shrek the other day with Eliza.
That's cool that you visited the Monastery. I went to midnight mass up there one Christmas Eve. It was interesting. Huntsville is so gorgeous isn't it?
