Sevier County, UT

In the 4th grade at Grant the kids learn about the counties in Utah. They have to do a report and a wax museum on one of the counties. When Shawn was in 4th grade we got to put in our choice for the county. They tried to give everyone the one they wanted. We decided to start a tradition where we would take the family on a little weekend trip to "their county". Shawn's county was Grand County Utah. Which is where Moab, Utah is located, We had a blast taking the kids there and exploring the county. Moab is one of our favorite places.

Why am I telling you this...

Well fast forward two years and Alyssa is in 4th grade. Well this year they did it different. Mrs. Fiori (the teacher) picked out of a hat which county they would have. We anxiously waited to see where in Utah we would be going on a quick vacation. The project is earlier this year so we were trying to figure out how to fit the trip in. Well, she got Sevier County Utah, Which might be one of the most boring counties in Utah. We were not able to find a whole lot of stuff to do on the Internet.

On Tuesday of this last week Steve decided to take the day off of work and drive to Sevier... which is Richfield, Monroe and Venice Utah to take some pictures and experience what there is to do there. Well he found a whole lot of nothing, but he said they had a great time. They left at 5:30 am and got home at about 7:00 pm. He said that Alyssa took 2 or 3 naps during the day, talked about everything, sang, and just had an all around good time in the booming county of Sevier. If you ever have the chance to go... do! We have some great pictures to show you how fun it was.

I've never even heard of Venice, Utah. Way to go, Steve for exploring it with Alyssa! At least it was a fun daddy/daughter day if nothing else.

How funny, we did that too. Connor's county was Carbon County which is where Price is. They have a pretty cool dinosaur museum and a totally fun public wave pool. We actually go there every year now.
