We carved the last Saturday of the summer out for a trip to the temple! While Daddy, Leah and Adam headed inside, Noah, Emma and Mommy enjoyed the peace-filled quiet of the waiting room. When we walking in Emma's eyes got really big and she said, "I'm just so happy in here! I just feel so happy!" We talked about those wonderful feelings of the Spirit- I'm so glad we were all able to pause and enjoy the peace of the temple.
And then we zipped over to the zoo!
Adam looks like he belongs in the zoo when he puts grapes in his mouth.
This trip was for the bugs,
the butterflies,
(which apparently Noah is still terrified of)
and the gorillas,
who are always fascinating and funny to watch.
We've got a few monkeys of our own around here...
And we made a few other stops around the zoo,
Our memories from the last time we had a zoo membership told us that the full trip around the entire zoo was much to far to conquer in one trip. And while that is true and we still prefer to split up the park and enjoy just a few exhibits each time we visit, this time around we discovered that, as our kids legs have gotten longer, the park has apparently shrunk.
We were able to loop around the zoo without much effort at all. Of course, we didn't stop at every animal or exhibit, but we did see everything we wanted, played at the kids naturescape and even helped a young mother with more tired kids than she could push and carry back up the hill when we were ready to head home. How the time flies and things just keep changing.
