this was day 3 - lots of driving and site seeing....
wednesday we started with the temple. We spent time in the Visitors center and around the grounds and talking to missionaries.
this kids did AMAZING! When we were busy they would find things to do that were acceptable, like this - they were playing "work" PG worked on the computer and PD wrote notes laying on the floor.
this is such a cute pic, too bad PR was covering her face with my sunglasses. :o)
I like artistic views. :o) I love the temple!
after the temple and a little lunch, we drove to Pine Valley and saw the "Upsidedown Boat church" aka the "Pine Valley Chapel" It is the oldest LDS church still in use. We didn't get to take a tour because in the winter they only do tours on Sunday but we drove up there to see it anyway...it was a pretty drive. The church was built by a man that built boats so he made the hull of the ship and flipped it up side down and made it the roof. then constructed the walls on the ground and then tethered them into the roof. It is still safe and they use it every week still.
on the way back to St George from Pine Valley we stopped at a look out for Snow Canyon. It was pretty and we had fun taking pics and climbing on the rocks.
this is me and my sweetie!
"the ponderer"
PG and I climbing around having a good time.
King of the hill? I don't know why KJ looks so grumpy in this pic but he really wasn't...
Then we went to the Brigham Young Winter Home. and did the tour there.
the hat on the bed was actually worn by the Prophet. I think that is so neat.
PD makes the house look so much more inviting! :o) Cute Girl!
then our last stop was the Jacob Hamblin Home. We had to wait a little bit for a tour so the kids ran around and played in the dirt and rocks until it was time to settle down and go in. They did REALLY good with this, they played when it was time and were well behaved on the tours...it was really nice!
PR was trying to be a part of the tour! :o)
Jacob kept the chairs backwards around the table so that when the family gathered for dinner they would kneel and pray before dinner. It is a cool idea, but I don't think it would work well in my small kitchen, I would stub my toe all the time. :(
This was the large upper room ..it was HUGE for that time period, but he had like 12 kids living there at a time....
we did some hanging out and swimming but that was pretty much our day 3.
