Temple Trip - 16 Nov

Wow - I really need to get caught up on my blogging!

Last month, Will & I took a little fieldtrip to the temple. We had so much fun exploring the grounds - smelling the flowers, climbing through bushes & in trees, splashing in the water . . .

The temple is such a beautiful & peaceful place - I'm always reminded of that when I go to visit.

  

I love that I was able to capture the bee shooting out of the lavendar.

 

Will's favorite temple pastime - playing in the fountain & trying to find fish in it.

Sorry kid, you won't find those here.

I Love to See the Temple

On Monday, I took Will to the temple for Family Home Evening.  When we got there, he was in the middle of his nap, so I let him sleep while I read for an hour (that alone was wonderful).  When he finally woke up, we took a stroll around the temple, had a mini lesson about God's love for us, admired the fountain, & played in the grass.  It felt so good to go to the temple.  It's been such a long time since I've been there, & I forgot how peaceful & beautiful it is.

My best efforts of getting a picture of us together

Will was so excited when he saw the fountain through the archway - if you can't tell.

He tried to do everything he could to get in the water, but to no avail.

Holiness to the Lord - The House of the Lord

Since he couldn't get in the water from the bottom of the fountain, he decided to try from the top.
