sunday picnic at the temple

It was stake conference Sunday and so when we got out Ethan said can we go some where? So we asked where he wanted to go of course it was to grandma and grandpa's but that's to far. David wanted lunch so we decided to go home fix up a picnic and take it and eat it near the temple . so that is what we did. I turned out to be a great Sunday activity that we all enjoyed. first we ate lunch and played in the grass for a bit . Then we went for a walk around the temple grounds and then to the visitors center. when we where done there Ethan really wanted to go to a park to play so we decided to do that also.

I wish this picture turned out a little better but it still shows the interest Ethan had in the Christus. Ethan walked right up to it and touched it's hand and body . it was fun to see children's reaction. a statue of Christ that size is something special to behold. The spirit is always so strong when you are in places like the visitors center.

Kyra was very intrigued with the Christus she wanted to touch it. she ooh and aah at it, she seemed like she really knew who he was and wanted him. It is amazing to think how much those little ones must remember from the other side of the veil. I Know that was always one of my favorite things to witness working at the visitors center in New York was the children's reaction as they walked in and saw the Christus. You could see it in their eye that they had a special connection with Christ.
