For
Spring Break we had the opportunity to spend some time with Dallan's
parents! We decided to spend a couple of days in the Delta area finding
old family homes and graves. We also went to Great Basin National
Park, hiked to the great stone face, hunted for arrow heads, and ended
by rock hunting at Topaz Mountain.
Before
we left Spanish Fork we visited the Pioneer Cemetery (The Redd family
is Dallan's direct ancestors and many of them are honored here)
Our first stop after leaving town was the old State Capital site located in Fillmore!

On our trip we also went to Great Basin National Park! The highlight for us was Lehman's Caves! It was well worth the drive!
We ended our trip back in Delta! We hiked to the Great Stone Face, hunted for arrow heads and stopped at the Old Fort.
On our way home we ventured to Topaz mountain where we were successful in finding some Topaz for our rock hunting enthusiasts!
Spring Break is the best!
