Temple Adventure

I call it an adventure, partly cuz I think it's fun to call all family outings adventures, but also because we had to change a flat tire on the way up the hill to the temple (and when I say we, I mean my husband and father-in-law). AND I think it's safe to say that keeping 3 kids, 5 and under, entertained (and reverant) while waiting in lines for 4 hours is an adventure too.

The kids have been looking forward to this for some time. Their grandparents came down just for the event, and we had some really great FHE's talking about temples and families. Audrey said she liked the room where brides put on their wedding dresses the best (always a princess), and Kierra just liked all of it. Jacob sat on Grandpa's shoulders most of the time, pointing at all the greenery (which was a lot if you slow down and notice it) and saying "Oh!" like an old Jewish man, the way he always does. And can you believe that after taking all those photos at home before we left that I forgot to take some of the whole family at the temple!!? Oh well, we can always get it later. It's not going anywhere.
