Hurricane and Springdale

This morning Christy and I got up and headed out. We first drove to Grafton Ghost Town. Christy at work was telling me about it the other day so we decided to go. As we drove through Hurricane I was surprised at how much it has changed since I have been gone. There is now a Walmart and a new Maverik out there. I think Hurricane might be a nice place to buy a lot and later live. Christy wasn't that crazy about Grafton, I think when I told her it was a ghost town she was expecting something like Calico. She thought the cemetery was pretty cool though. After Grafton we drove through Springdale. We stopped and did the tourist thing, walking thru stores and looking at all the treasures. Christy
was not interested in seeing the "Treasure of the Gods". We stopped in Virgin at the little place that has mock buildings. Christy got to feed carrots to llamas, a horse and a donkey. There were also a couple of deers there. Then we drove back thru Hurricane. Christy was hungry so we stopped at Main street cafe and had some very yummy food. I recommend stopping there to eat if you are in the Hurricane area. Then we came home. It was a fun day. The pictures are from the end of the day to the beginning. Sorry Christy eating her yummy breakfast. She had a waffle with whipped cream and strawberries on top and she had hot chocolate to drink. I tasted her waffle, it was so good, as was her hot chocolate. Christy is funny, lately when we go out to eat she always wants hot chocolate to drink even though it is in the high nineties or in the hundreds outside.

Christy feeding the donkey a carrot. She was scared to get any closer than this. She wouldn't pet any of the animals.

Christy feeding the llama, poor thing had to stretch its neck out as far as it would go just to get the carrot.
