We ended up finding some amazing seats! Middle front section--about in the middle.
The kids & I hiked up the hill (and some of it was straight up!)
Pamela saved our seats for us--she has the umbrella.
You can still see Pamela (lower right) & our vehicle in the very upper left.
the hill closes at 6 pm on pageant nights and we walked down to the visitor's center around 5:40 pm--so we had perfect timing!
My girls :D
Walking down the hill to the visitor's center, the path was a lot easier (this is the one I have memories of when I came as a youth).
In the visitor's center.
Ben loved listening to the "telephone"
then around 7, the pageant characters came out to mingle with the audience.
we were able to get pictures with a lot! (John the Baptist)
A Nephite family
so "pretty girls" (according to both of the kiddos)
Abinadi--he told us they use real fire when he is "burned" at the stake (but then said he does not get hurt)
Joseph Smith & Moroni
Alma (who listened & believed Abinadi)
The middle young man is from Idaho Falls!
Ben loved the purple dress.
Young Samuel (Lehi's son) & Lemuel
Ben being strong with these Nephite boys.
The amazing prophet, Lehi
Wicked King Noah
one of the wise men
and then we found all 3 of them! (although I know there were more than just 3)
and we found 2 characters from Eagle, ID--& they both know Rusty's brother, Ken. This is third Nephi (from Eagle)
and last (but not least)--the prophet Mormon.
