4th of July Weekend

Day one:
We spent the weekend in Logan. On our way down (Or up) we decided to stop at the temple and let the kids look around. It was a VERY hot day and the boys were SO full of energy :) I always have good intentions but at the end of these kinds of activities I am so worn down and frazzled that I always ask myself why I do these things....Then I remember when I watch the kids having a blast diving in fountains and playing in the dirt when I am trying to get them back to the car. I just need more energy! I need double what I have now just to match these boys!

MD enjoyed the revolving doors at a nearby building where we parked. However at one point he got stuck in the door and uncle Sam had to rescue him
Hyrum and Joseph Smith
I sat down to rest and Michael joined me-so we took a picture
Then Sam decided he wanted one :) Well I decided I wanted one with Sam
"Look it's Captain Moroni!"
The boys favorite thing about the Temple is the water
And running free of their parents
MD likes to help us out when it comes to Seth. this time he decided Sam needed help pushing Seth
Seth just relaxed
Hyrum looking at Joseph and Hyrum Smiths death masks
I made the boys sit and point

So Michael did it too ....Yeah he was making fun of me :)
Lovely family picture :) I think I missed that class that taught you how to get your children to pose for pictures. Instead of smiling and looking like they enjoy themselves, they get grumpy and refuse to look at the camera.
I am so glad to be literally surrounded by temples. The boys get a wonderful opportunity to visit the Lords house as often as they want and I am glad for these sweethearts who are such good examples.
