Spring Break Day 2

My favorite day was definitely this one!!  Despite the fact that Jeremy said the temple was 2 blocks away :)  It was like 9...

Did you know the temple is made of red brick & then they put the plaster over it & paint it BRILLIANTLY white every 8ish years.  It had been painted 2 years ago & it still hurt to look at it with the sun shining on it!

Lily's personal chauffeur! (she LOVED the stroller rides & screamed to go in & was mad to get out!!)

Ammon's personal chauffeur thank HEAVENS for GREAT cousins!!

Cowee & the temple grounds :)

Daddy & Lily

Also see the round windows? well on both sides of the temple they are there as well & when the temple first opened up they were used as apartments & the little spires (square) were chimneys they have since been closed off & the apartments are used for other purposes now.

The whole family YAY!!  So grateful to be a forever family!!  Sure to love these guys TONS!!

Last tid bit.  President Young didn't like the original spire it was more dome shaped & he said it reminded him of a government office.  But the workers convinced him to dedicate it anyway since it had taken so long to build & so he did.  4 months later Pres Young passed away & 1 year later lightening struck the spire & burned it.  The headline in the Desseret News read "Pres Young gets his way"  Too funny!!

After the temple we went to the river walk way for lunch it was a chilly picnic, but then when we were done the sun came out & so we went on a walk to enjoy it!!

After lunch we sent the boys & the kids back for much needed naps & us girlies went shopping the outlet.  I got me a rolling pin!!  $10 & it's marble or granite or something needless to say it is HEAVY DUTY & good looking!! :)  Mom says they usually run $50 so I say I got a GREAT deal!! (makes ya feel pretty good!)

After shopping we went out to eat at Cafe Rio & had Nilson's Frozen Custard at which point we sang Happy Birthday to Skye & went swimming!!  Thanks for sharing your birthday with us Skye Bird!!
