I seriously better pick up the pace of my entries or I'm never going to get caught up. I still have so much to blog about just from our Utah trip alone. Obviously, I didn't quite make my perfect goal of a post a day (not by a long shot), but oh well, perfect is not really my thing anyhow.
Okay, so today is all about our wet but wonderful day at Temple Square (kind of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints'--aka, Mormon--headquarters) in Salt Lake City. Since I accidentally uploaded the pictures in reverse order, I guess we're looking at our day from ending to beginning.
We finished up a very full day at the Museum of Church History and Art that I had never visited before. We didn't even arrive there until after 8:00 at night and the museum closes at 9:00 so our time there was short but very well spent. We went straight to the very hands-on children's exhibit that was currently displayed (I think it's changed now to something else). The kids loved it there!
The kids and their cousins "holding to the iron rod" (if that makes zero sense to you feel free to ask someone who's LDS)
Kevin's sister, Heidi, posing with a replica of the Angel Moroni (located on the top of most lds temples).
Heidi testing out what it would be like to give a talk in General Conference; of course, this is minus the 40,000 people watching in person from the Conference Center and millions of people watching from other locations via broadcast. Any volunteers?
Porter practicing to be a temple architect.
The girls finally getting off our feet for a moment while we watch the kids attempting to put on a nativity play.
And here's what we're watching ...
Mae and cousin having fun at one of the many hands-on activity stations.
My big boy having fun at one of many activity stations.
Brooks trying to dress a baby. Wow, this could be scary.
My other big boys finishing up dinner at the Lion House Restaurant.
You guessed it. Dinner at the Lion House Restaurant.
One of the many beautiful sculptures at one of the Temple Square visitor's centers.
The beautiful Conference Center!!
