Las Vegas Temple visit

Sometimes the most impromptu things turn out the best. I got up on Sunday and decided that after church I was going to take the kids to the temple for a picnic. While it made my morning a little hectic since we have 9 am church,(and Jared was working), it was so worth it. It was such a gorgeous day, 70 degrees and sunny. We ate a little lunch and then the kids played and played. There is a lot of grass to run on, slide on, and roll on. The kids loved it. Hanna said "I love it here, when can we come back?" Its amazing that even little ones can feel the special spirit that temples radiate. We finally left after an hour and a half.

That's a great idea to take the kids. We will do that soon. (A girl I know that lives close does the vinyl, anything you can think up!)

How sweet. We did the same thing when we first moved to Washington. We lived in a rental house that was TINY and it was so rainy here...so what do you do? You head to the temple. We would take a picnic lunch and eat in the back of the truck and just enjoy the beauty. We haven't taken the kids back for at least two years and the other day they asked me, "When can we go back to the temple?" It almost made me cry. Children are amazing little people aren't they?

These are really cute. I am impressed that you were able to get you kids to cooperate. Taking group pictures of my kids is always the most challenging.

Cute geneva. I wish we were closer to our temple. I can't believe you got a lunch packed and four kids ready for 9 o'clock church. Wow. Fun pictures.
