The Wilson Family: Temple Square Tradition

This adventure to Temple Square during Priesthood Session has become quite a fun tradition for us. This time I had my little sis to help with the kids though, and that made a big difference. I could leave her outside with the kids for a few minutes while I braved the crowds alone to look at books, something near impossible with a stroller and 2 others in tow.

This is what we did: Dropped Daddy off to see if he could get standby tickets (he was given a ticket while in line!), found a parking space, walked up to the JSMB to wait in line for the freebie for the Deseret Book Ladies' Night Out party, while waiting in line we ate our picnic dinner, got the freebie (yeah!), headed right on out to go to the Church History Museum (taking our time walking through Temple Square and looking at the pretty flowers and such), hung out at the childrens' corner of the museum, walked back to the JSMB to get free cookies to go with our hot cocoa from home (which we ate/drank outside next to the temple- very fun), walked over to Deseret Book to paruse through books with less crowds (the girls went crazy in the kids aisle- so happy they love books too), walked over to the taco cart on the corner to meet Dad for a snack, walked over to the mirror pool by the temple, walked back to the car and headed home.

All in all, it was jam packed, but very worth it. Each one of us had an enjoyable time. If anyone wants to join us next time, we'd love it! Although, I'm planning on having a one month old at the next conference, so maybe next fall.

This is the angel Moroni statue in the museum. Audrey had an idea to trick Daddy and show him the picture and say we took it on top of the temple. She couldn't wait to trick him!
