The weekend after Conference we decided to take the kids to Temple Square. We went once a long time ago but thought it would be fun for the kids. The loved it, and it was FREE! We didn't even get to see everything we wanted. The first stop was Brigham Young's grave which I didn't even know was just up the street from Temple Square in this teeny park/memorial place. Luke had a spiritual experience there after he kicked his shoe off (you can see below he doesn't like to strap them on) into a very stickery bush and we absolutely couldn't find it. I mean, we all looked for several minutes and then decided to give up. He was going to have to walk around Temple Square with one shoe. So Adam suggested that he say a prayer and so Luke decided to kneel down and said a prayer he would find his shoe. We decided to look one last time and it was literally right on the edge of the bush, right where we had all been looking but there it was. So Luke got a great lesson on prayer and he had both shoes for the rest of the trip. Thank goodness it was a quickly answered prayer!
Scrunchy face
Luke and Claire on the top of the Conference Center...Luke said "Hey there's supposed to be a park up here!" We told him this WAS the park, I think he was imagining a swing set or something.
For posterity...thanks to Luke for taking the picture. Note to self...always have someone taller than you take your picture.
Outside the temple doors...this picture is classic. Luke is looking at the details of the door, Liam is, let's say...energetic, and Grace is posing. Love it.
Outside the Lion House...they were out of rolls, darn it!
