On Thursday we took a little drive and explored Pine Valley. It was a really fun place to see. We found the Pine Valley Chapel and had a picnic lunch.

The Property is still used today for weekly Sunday Services. It is one of the first chapels ever built in Utah, I think that is pretty cool!

Uncle T.J. and Makailey Exploring the grounds

The man who built the Pine Valley Chapel was a ship builder and it is said he built the chapel like an upside down church. It was closed when we got there so we couldn't see inside, but we did peek in the windows and see the old style wooden benches and flooring.
