Easter Sunday

It was a 'bit' of a rough night last night.  Emma was up four different times for various reasons... so three of us were tired in the morning!  The kids got a burst of energy though when they discovered that the Easter bunny had come!  They found chocolate eggs all over the trailer!

 The best part was that they got a chess set!  They immediately had to start playing a game!

 We had a nice relaxed morning and then we all got ready to go to church.  We attended Sacrament meeting at 11:00 in a chapel near the campground and then, after we'd eaten lunch, we headed down to walk around the temple and go through the Visitor's Center.

 I absolutely loved getting to see flowers out and green grass!  It was so nice and hot!

 The kids loved climbing the steps on the temple and posed for multiple pictures... they even ask for certain pictures to be taken now!

 It was such a perfect way to spend Easter Sunday.

 The Visitor's Center had a couple touch screens with different activities that the kids loved to play with.  They would have spent all afternoon playing on them!  Emma even learned how to e-mail the picture of the temple that she'd colored to me!

 While we were in the Visitor's Center, we had a sister missionary take our picture for us.

 As we were walking around, I also ran in to Linda Jacobs from Mountain View!  She called me 'Shauna' until Lennard corrected her, but it was nice to sit and visit with her.  She had a bunch of family down that were watching one of the movies.

After the Visitor's Center, we decided to go do the tour of Brigham Young's Winter home.  We were in a tour of 10 people and the missionaries did a good job, but the kids were pretty done by then. They were still extremely well behaved, but as the tour went on, they got a little antsy.  They were extremely glad to get back to the trailer.

We let them change into their play clothes while we made dinner.  We had steaks on the barbeque!  Yum!  We played Dutch Blitz for a while (although the kids didn't like it as much as UNO or Skip-Bo).  It has been really hot today... 29°C. It's been a big adjustment being that warm after our colder temperatures up North!
