Before Fish Lake...our side trip to Cove Fort

So on the way down to Fish Lake Cameron was having some car troubles. So my parents were with him to make sure he made it there okay. (David and I were still a couple of hours behind them along with the rest of the family) so on the way down after they had fixed what they thought was wrong with his car my parents just headed to the camp site to drop off the trailer and then go back and tow the boat to see if that would help. Well David and I figured that the family still wasn't there and so we decided to take a detour. We drove to Cove Fort. We love church historical sites. This one is no exception. We got our own personal tour with a wonderful convert missionary from I think it was Ohio. He was so super nice and you could tell he had a very strong personal testimony. I love historical sites there is just a special feel to them. We had fun learning/relearning about the history of this place. How it was built, why it was built, who lived there, what kind of things went on there and so on. We even went and toured the big barn, bunk house, and the black smiths shop. We even got to try a game that the children used to play. David was really good, me not so much. We had a lot of fun on our little side trip, even if it was an expensive side trip! David on the way down wasn't paying attention to his speed and was going a little to fast, needless to say the Highway patrolman wasn't very nice and well our little side trip turned into a very expensive one, but it was totally worth it. Oh and just in case you were wondering Cameron made it to Fish Lake just fine, it just took a really long time!
