Temple Trip

Just a little blurry
Keeping it cool

Handsome Husband!!!
While we were on vacation we visited two temples.  We visited the LDS temples in St. George, Utah, and Las Vegas, Nevada.  We had a great time.  The grounds at St. George were beautiful.  The flowers were vibrant, and the water fountain was pretty.  It was pretty hot though, and so our favorite parts were visiting the visitor centers.

The first part tells all about the building of the St. George temple.  There was a nice sister missionary there to tell the kids stories and answer questions, and Isabelle had many questions.  She liked the stories and pictures about the baptismal font and was very excited to know she could go in and do baptisms when she gets older.  We found out that the legs of the oxen holding the font are underground so that the font is still below ground level.  Jimmy Joe saw the tools they used and decided they were his to build with; we left soon after that announcement, as he tried to climb into the exhibit and use them.

   The visitor center is beautiful.  They have a display of Books of Mormon of all languages.  There are missionaries to help you, tours to take, and movies to watch about many things pertaining to temples (in history), and the church.  My favorite part was the art they had on display.  I don't remember the artist, but it was about pioneers and it was like a little art gallery.  BEAUTIFUL.

Jimmy Joe was pretty tired by the time we left, and I think they were glad to see us go, but we had a wonderful time.  LOVED IT
